our lease is vaguely worded but it seems that its my responsibility to fix the 6000 fucking dollar air conditioner on our buildings roof.
we can put freeon in but its the old kind so its hella expensive and expected to leak out. three different repair companies said they cannot fix the leaks cuz its 40 years old.
how is it that we are responsible for paying for something that the landlord gets to keep? we did not break it, its 40 years old. any advice on working around this? i want to approach our landlord about a 50/50 deal but he has the right to terminate our lease. we were the only ones in this building for over two years but now that someone else has moved in i feel we lose that leverage of 'dont lose your only client'.
this is a commercial building btw.
my boss currently wants to just wait and see what happens but hes here for two hours a day at max whereas im here at least five. in socal mind you

can someone at least explain why if we pay for a brand new air conditioner they get to keep it? shouldnt it be ours to resell or get scrap metal for? they dont get to keep anything else we bring into the office so why the AC?

You need to sit down with an attorney, have them go over the lease with you.
No, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Major items like that are generally the owners responsibility to maintain unless specified in the lease agreement. You have a lease agreement right? Do you have a tenants union in your city you can contact?
