German here: you are not allowed to install anything thats visible from the outside without the owners aproval (70% of people Rent in Germany) or even the aproval of the Apartment Owner Association (Imagine HOA but for Apartments and every bit as dumb)


German here: 53% of the Germans lives in a rented home.

whoops sorry I think i mixed the numbers up with the EU average, which is close to 70% point in case is that its much much more than in other countries.


So then in Europe you are just as banned from installing an AC unit as I was here in the states in a rented apartment.

Hint: that's not "It's banned in Europe", that's "Landlords generally suck in any possible way"


Person living in Germany here: everyone does it anyway, if it's a temporary installation.


I have seen enough people complaining about someone putting up an AC even the Midea Portasplit.
