Impossible to live without AC in Japan. Also almost every move company can remove/install AC's pretty easily so it's kinda convient.

Also if all rooms already have installed AC's then apartment rent price is much higher than similar without it so it's 50/50 what you want.

It's the same in many parts of the US, but unless the apartment comes with central AC, we're stuck with noisy and inefficient window AC units[1], or worse, portable AC units[2].

Come on. People lived there for thousands of years before AC.

Even in rural area, temperatures in this August is sometime 36-40C (or even high) so cooler is mandatory.
