Reply to comment by SheeEttin in Air conditioner installation fee - any way out of it? by lilliavert

Yes agreed - removing isn’t as much of an issue, but I would be a little nervous to reinstall it and knowing me I’d probably end up dropping it out of the window. But I guess I can probably ask some friends who are stronger than me to help out.

Editing to add that I’m pretty sure the lease agreement says we’re not supposed to do it ourselves but I don’t know how closely they keep tabs on these things considering they manage multiple buildings

Does the lease say you can’t keep it installed during the winter?

It says I can’t use it in the winter, but doesn’t mention removal. That being said, there is a $200 “Violation of AC Units Policy” fee. Which is essentially the same amount as the reinstall cost…

Do you have a friend? You shouldn't be installing A/Cs by yourself but it's relatively easy with 2 people.

I definitely wouldn’t attempt all by myself. I checked the lease though and it says no self-installation
