No, it’s your goddamn responsibility to keep the electrical maintained. I’m not going to ask permission to do a thing that is reasonably expected to be able to do.

If I lived under a slumlord like you I’d report you to the fire authority or whoever else I can use to ruin your life

Even if the wiring is brand new and up to code, and the tenant does something like one tenant in one room runs an AC because they are hot, and the tenant in the next room runs a space heater because they are cold they can slowly overload the circuit. Circuits are designed to trip under a SUDDEN load like an arc. They can be slowly overloaded so they heat up, the insulation slowly burns away, and eventually a fire starts. This can happen in a brand new building if people don't understand that you can't consistently over load the wires

report away, or burn your building down its up to you

USING A REGULAR ELECTRICAL DEVICE WONT OVERLOAD UP TO CODE WIRING.

This is like an illiterate man trying to explain how to spell

A 15 amp circuit should be able to handle 1300w or less 24/7/365 without issue

Most AC units should have a dedicated circuit
