Wish I paid more attention to the HVAC system at new rental

Unfortunately, it turns out that our central AC system is at least 15 years old in this rental

Living in a major city, it can be extremely difficult to find adequate housing that you can afford. The rental rates in this city are nothing to sneeze at. If you are living alone, you don’t have many options besides living in a tiny apartment in a dangerous part of town. Everything else is just too expensive to viably afford on a normal person’s budget. That’s why, when I saw my dream house go on the market at an affordable rate in an incredible neighborhood, I jumped at the opportunity to live there. I signed the lease without paying enough attention to all of the details. Now, I’m truly regretting that part of my decision as the outdoor air temperature slowly climbs and summer sets in. When I was looking for a home, it was the middle of winter. I didn’t worry about the air conditioning system in my new house whatsoever, because I was too worried about staying warm. Now, the outdoor air temperature is steeply increasing day after day, and the air quality is quickly becoming humid day in and day out. It’s at the point where we need to run our central air conditioning system regularly. Unfortunately, it turns out that our central AC system is at least 15 years old in this rental. My room never really gets cool enough, and the AC unit is already running nonstop. I tried reaching out to the landlord, but he won’t return my phone calls about the cooling system. I’m terrified to see what our energy bill is going to be like, and I’m not excited for the prospect of a hot and humid summer.
