HELP, landlord is charging me for failed condenser. Stating misuse of running thermostat at 69 degrees.
Please help! Context: I am renting a home and the condenser keeps freezing and has done so multiple times since moving in, always change filters. Leasing agent is stating that we are the cause of misuse and charging labor and diagnostic to us to replace the condenser due to having the thermostat at lower than recommended temps. Leasing agent keeps stating that Ac unit was replaced when we moved in last year and the unit says week 21-96 for manufacturing date. Looks like a split furnace was also installed 2024 and condenser replaced last summer. More context, vendor told me before he left that the install was done incorrectly and he may never get it right. Then turned around and told the leasing company that we are negligent and missing the unit lower than 70 degrees recommended. 1 degree cannot be the cause of failure. This is Bs and either the vendor is lying or they are both lying. Please see attached pics of the hvac unit and condenser. This thing is frankensteined together isn’t it?
