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. If the Landlord refuses to do so, call a repairman, get it fixed, get a copy of the bill and deduct t from your rent...however make sure you let the landlord know that you will be doing this if he still refuses to fix it and again, make sure you give him a copy of the bill when you pay your rent.

If a tenant put up showers in there place and there having trouble with them now who is responsible to fix it?

The tenant is responsible for what ever they put up in the unit, first they need to ask the landlord if they have permission, it is a much better idea that the landlord should make all the necessary changes, that way the tenant does not have the responsibility nor the costs. If the landlord declines and the tenant goes ahead anyway, the tenant can leave themselves wide open to be sued for damages if anything goes wrong.


When moving out of rental Do you still have to pay rent?

This depends on if you are moving out before the lease is up. Most leases have clauses which states that a tenant is responsible for the rent of an apartment for the remainder of the lease period or until the unit is rented to a new tenant, whichever comes first. If you move out of the dwelling where there is no lease, then you are not responsible for the rent.

You are. YOu are responsible for a unit until you have completely moved out and turned in the keys. At that point, you are no longer responsible for any damages as you are officially not living there and therefore, no longer responsible. But up until that point, you are responsible as you are still officially a tenant, which would include the eviction process.
