Am I required to provide AC?
Hey guys. I'm pretty new to landlording, acquiring my first and so far only property in December 2021. Haven't really had too many issues so far with my tenant until now. She's demanding I provide an AC as the house is too hot. I'm a small investor with and a new AC is a big expense for me. I tried recommending fans but she says its not good enough and I need to get her an AC. I understand there's a heatwave right now but even I don't AC at my own place. Am I required to get her one? I'm in Alberta, Canada if that makes any difference
EDIT: Am I also required to disclose information about partners in the deal? She want's to know if there's anyone else she can talk to

I'm in Alberta and no you aren't required to provide AC. She knew there wasn't any AC when she agreed to rent it. She can get a window unit or a small portable unit.
She can also do other things like keep her curtains/blinds closed when the sun is shining in, keep windows closed and open them in the evening and early morning.
