A reader in the Forum is unhappy about the way the tenants on the top floor have installed an air conditioner. Will it fall out? Will it damage the window frame? The landlord writes:

my tenant installed a window a/c unit on the top floor rental. we are very sensitive about the safety and unavoidable damage to the window frame. how have others handled this? as of now, they have no bracket, but we want to insist they use one. what charges are reasonable? by the way, the house rules stipulates that they must consult us before installing one. they did not, which is another issue we need to deal with. they are nice, friendly, and we like them, but we need to be firm with this. advice, please. thanks.
