Ahaha, kicking myself now.
Aww ripper. You could place a trampoline under the window as a temporary solution.
Or at least put up an umbrella
This does not answer your question, so sorry about that.
I think about this literally every day when we put our ACs out in the summer. I bought a few no-hardware window mount AC platforms that kind of hang off the inside of the window frame. Worth every penny for the peace of mind, not to mention not tearing my windows apart holding an AC by the wood framing. Maybe a cheap way for your landlord to also never think about this again.
Might want to be careful about complaining.
Landlord may just say no air cons allowed anymore since there's too much liability.
yeah, and then a cheeky rent hike to cover aircon removal.
Australian low-budget Donnie Darko remake just dropped
You can complain about whatever you want but first you need to figure out what it is that you want.
If you just say "its unsafe" they will just come by and say "it's safe now".
Yeah, I just want cheaper rent, but realistically that'll never happen.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean if you were the landlord, an awesome landlord, you wouldn't discount the rent over something like this. You'd fix the problems but you wouldn't discount the rent.
That's a pretty good way to put it.
damn! did it make a hole? bits errywhere? got a pic?
I do but I'd rather not post. It wasn't very exciting to be honest, the aircon is actually still basically intact and just a bit bent. Mostly just glass everywhere from the window it fell out of. I think the actual impact happened in the garden bed because no tiles were cracked and there's a bit of an in dent in the soil. There's also now a perilous looking shard hanging out the above window which looks like it wants to fall down at any moment. The neighbour can't get to it because it's outside of a window they can't open.
