[quote=CA renter] Everyone in Southern California knows that “air conditioning” in an ad means central air. If it’s a window unit, portable unit, or swamp cooler, then it will almost always specify this in the ad.

I could find many more, but I just grabbed a few from areas I’m familiar with. All advertise AC but have wall units. People who advertise won’t usually point out that their AC is less than central. The photos give it away though. They will only specify if their unit DOES HAVE central air. Central air is not as common here as some seem to think.
Why would it be common? If you’re within a few miles of the coast, the climate is good enough not to need it. Secondly, a GOOD wall unit can work nearly as well as central A.C.
(And there are also mini-split systems that offer basically all of the benefits of central A.C. without the hassles of a fixed installation.)

You’re right. Apparently, things have changed since I last looked at a home for rent that included A/C (decades), and this was in an area that is hotter than coastal SD.
Still, if it advertises having A/C, it should mean that the unit functions well enough to keep the living/sleeping area comfortably cool. What this LL did to bp’s daughter is unethical.
I hope she is able to work this out with the LL and get a decent A/C unit. Being pregnant in this heat can be brutal.
