Installing a wall-mounted air conditioner in a rental unit: the challenges to overcome

Some landlords may be hesitant to modify the space or make changes to the exterior walls of the building. However, good communication and a professional approach can often convince the landlord, especially if the installation contributes to the tenant’s comfort.
