How to put air conditioning into an apartment that doesn’t allow window air conditioners

air-conditioning

I would so appreciate an answer to this question. I recently moved into an apartment that doesn't have central air and doesn't allow window units. I live in Los Angeles so this is not going be "chill" so to speak. The reason I moved in here was because it was kind of an emergency situation that I find a new place and (besides the fact that I may die in the heat) it's very nice. The building is from the 1920's and there is like a rule against anything being put out the windows. It's a weird rule, but my windows face the courtyard so there isn't any sneaking around I can do with the window stuff. I know there is probably nothing I can do but I have to ask. There is a bedroom with two french doors leading to a big living room. Is it possible to get an air conditioner with a tube and put the tube through the french doors and seal it up around it? I know that the living room will get very hot but if everything is sealed up will I be able to at least have a slightly cold bedroom for the summer months? I saw someone in here said to put the tube out of a door and in a bucket of water so it will evaporate there but I'm not trying to explode my whole building haha. Electricity cost is absolutely no issue so I have that going for me, I just don't know what to do.

A portable air conditioner may work for you. It does need to get rid of the heat through a 4” tube that will have to vent out doors somehow. There will be condensate that will go into a container that will have to be emptied every so often. Maybe you can hide the 4” pipe.
