Is my apartment complex responsible for my high utility bill (or at least partially?) if they’ve neglected to perform the maintenance on the air conditioner unit? I have a documented work order that indicates it was jammed full of cotton wood seeds. I rent a 2 bedroom apartment and my bill was 322$ this month.

My question is, is it included in the lease? For example did the lease state that any repairs due to neglect of maintenance falls on the landlords’s responsibility? You have to check your lease to answer this and if the landlord wont pay for the repair then you may file a complaint or hold the rent.
