Last time I was over to fix a ceiling fan I think they were up to a TV, couch, living room chair, a couple night stands, an armoire, and a couple chairs and a folding table in the dining area after eight months. 

This is much different from our first unit in Charlotte NC, as it's an endcap space in a lifestyle shopping center (think high end retail, movie theater, dining, etc).  

This is a cheap temporary solution so the tenant doesnt drive you crazy in the meantime. our windows slide left to right not up and down so there is nothing to hold a window unit in place.. it would be dangerous to put a window unit..his apartment runs length wise and if he did open the window in the front of the apartment ( living room dining room) and his bedroom in the back it would cause cross ventilation but he refuses to open the windows for safety reasons.. we are in a nice area and he is on the second floor.. our living room dining room have ceiling fans and we gave them 2 large stand up rotating fans.. the lease does say there is no compensation for a temporary lose of heat or a/c.. so would that still leave me liable for his hotel bill?

Rented a townhouse (in Connecticut) that had swinging "saloon" doors between kitchen and dining room at the EXACT hight of my youngest sons forehead! 

I knew there might be problems when the original fellow asked me if it would be OK if they set up bunk beds in the dining room (?

This is your perfect opportunity, because you can break the lease due to the unit being uninhabitable.They'll probably be incredibly stunned and try and keep you to the contract, but want compensation and to stay.  

Anyone in Texas looking to get away for the weekend to enjoy the river walk, farmer's markets, and fine dining (yes fine dining!) 

They stayed warm due to generating lots of heat internally and only heating the portions of the house being used {i.e. you would not heat the dining room or salon during the night}.With older properties we usually lay-out a plan to improve the building envelope first through air sealing (getting rid of drafts and convection within the wall cavities) and, where possible, insulation {not always straight forward ... many old brick buildings have limited insulation options due to the brick requiring heat transfer from inside to drive moisture from the brick}.Around here it is not uncommon to find an old mansion converted to multiple units - or the occasional purpose-built multi-unit - where the operating costs are 70 - 80% of the revenue and heating comprises 20 - 25% of the operating costs.  

If there's no other dining space provided, I would want the dinning room instead.
