Massachusetts Tenants Without AC - Impact Of Max Indoor Temp Policy
Living without air conditioning in this heat wave
Hello all! Hope you're doing well and staying cool in this heat wave.
I'm a reporter at The Boston Globe working on an article about the push for Massachusetts to implement a maximum indoor temperature, which could require landlords to provide an air conditioner capable of keeping the apartment cool.
I'm looking to speak to tenants in the state who do not have AC in their apartments or have inadequate cooling (e.g. a window unit that isn't powerful enough to cool the space) about how this policy would impact them. Hoping to ask what impact the heat has on people (sleep, health), how they try to stay cool, etc.
If anyone in this group is in this position and has thoughts, please reach out! My email is [email redacted]
