By Ants everywhere but my pants - 19/05/2016 02:35 - United States - Sun City Center

Today, I left the windows open because I live in Florida without air conditioning because the asshole landlord won't fix it. There was nice cool air from the rain. I've killed about 100 flying ants that have made their way inside. Now I have a hot house with closed windows and flying ants. FML

Invest in a window screen. Just because the landowner won't improve your quality of living doesn't mean you're bound to his whims :)

There's only one thing you can do now. And it involves fire... a lot of it

Yes. You can buy a kit to make your own at Lowe's for pretty cheap. Just, uhh, double check your measurements before cutting... *sweeps frame scraps under a rug*

Flying ants are like tiny satans with wings

You can sue your landlord. It's not considered acceptable housing with no AC

Nope. In Florida you are only legally required to supply heat in a rental unit. AC is completely optional, as awful as that is.

There potential for an infestation. I suggest you get your house checked afterward.

Until your landlord steps up can you get a few fans? Once you've killed the damn flying ants of course.

I have a spare ticket to nopeville, if you're interested.

Also from Florida, once we hit 95 outside its considered an emergency repair, you need to report your landlord. The landlord will dislike you, but clearly he already does.

Look through your lease contract closely, he may be obligated to fix it. If he is, you can decide to not pay rent until he fixes it because he is not holding up his end of the contract

Eeeekk! I hope you didn't get bit! Time to threaten to report the landlord. How ridiculous of him. Houses in Florida NEED to have AC. He shouldn't even be a landlord!
