My younger brother recently moved into his first apartment.
I am proud of him for finally getting on his own.
He’s the youngest, so Mom was a little too willing to hold on to him and allow him to stay home without paying rent or attempting any significant strides towards his independence. However, that has now changed. Of course though, with his first job, he isn’t making very much money. His apartment is rather small, and my poor brother is having to deal with air conditioner issues nearly constantly. It’s not even his responsibility to fix them. It is the responsibility of the landlord, but the landlord seems to either be unwilling to contact a good and reputable HVAC company to actually fix the air conditioning problem or he is dragging his feet about purchasing an entirely new HVAC system. If I had to guess from what my brother has been telling me, it is probably the latter. Repair after repair and visit after visit doesn’t seem to be solving the problem for very long. My brother tells me that the HVAC vans are in the parking lot all the time, but things don’t seem to be getting any better. My brother’s birthday is coming up and I know just the thing to get him! I’m buying him a small, portable air conditioning system for him to use while the landlord gets his act together when it comes to the HVAC. I’ve read reviews online and heard that the portable air conditioner is quite powerful for its size. I think it will be perfectly suitable for his living situation.
