>Not sure about the parent post, but my lease also has a similar restriction. In my case, it's just re-asserting a restriction passed through via an HOA covenant. I have a hard time believing there's any place in America where there's houses in HOAs which don't have air conditioning. Sure, there's houses without A/C in America, but they're always very old houses that predate the invention of the HOA, and usually also the invention of the subdivision. If your house already has HVAC, then this discussion is moot since you'd have little reason to install a window unit.
