As far as kinds of house and extent of building, you're right. Are you on the
top floor or something of a multistory ? (now we see you're the tenant...).

But, having grown up in Texas in the '50s and '60s, I can attest that many, many
people have lived without air conditioning OR evaporative cooling in the recent
past. It's all about expectations. Open your windows, get a fan, sit outside
in the shade, go see afternoon movies if you have to.

Cheers,

It is irrelevant to you whether homeowner has warranty or not. If you are
supposed to get ac, homeowner is liable to renter.
