‘Excruciating’: Antioch resident sleeps in car after A/C breaks for more than a month
An Antioch man has been sleeping in his car during Nashville's heat waves because his apartment's air conditioning has been broken for over a month. He claims the landlord at Allegro on Bell has been unresponsive and provided an ineffective temporary solution, prompting him to share his experience online where others reported similar issues. Tennessee lacks state laws requiring landlords to provide functional air conditioning, unlike Arizona, Florida, and Nevada.
