Generally yes. That would generally create a tenant-landlord relationship.
There may be no cut and dried answer to this question. Apparently there are other issues in the relationship, such as a lease/ rental agreement, or possibly some kind of co-habitation arrangement or you may be renting a room in a larger apartment or home.
Classically, what you describe does make the payer a tenant and the payee the landlord, especially if the landlord owns the property. Otherwise, the relationship could be a sub-lease arrangement.

If the air conditioner came with the apartment, then No, the tenant is not responsible. It is up to the Landlord to fix it. I know this because I am a landlord myself.

Normally the bankruptcy filing has nothing to do with whether or not the tenant has paid his rent.

If the tenant pays the rent, he should not be evicted.
