.....or just screw into the AC unit somewhere discrete and hope no one notices.

- prmoustache 2mo agoHave you ever seen a landlord check that kind of things really? Unless you have made a mess with wires getting out looking like a fire hazard in waiting I don't know anyone who would stop at 2 tiny screw holes. Heck the landowner may not even remember the unit was not made that way in the first place.
- itslennysfault 2mo agoAgreed. I've done some crazy stuff in apartments. Last place I rented I installed a projector on the ceiling and ran wires through the ceiling and walls because it'd be ugly otherwise. Also converted a ceiling light into an outlet to power it. Patched the drywall before I moved out and the landlord never needed to know.
