I rent a second-floor apartment in a recently renovated brownstone. A while ago, my landlady told me that I have to buy a pad of some sort to stop my window air-conditioner from dripping on the front of the building. She couldn’t tell me where to buy the pad or how to install it. When I went to the hardware store, I was told that the only way to stop dripping is to buy a hose and attach it to the hole in the bottom of the unit. This will be especially difficult because there is very little space between the bottom of the unit and our window ledge. Does anyone know of any other way to stop the A/C from dripping onto the front of the building, and whether or not the landlady should help us with the cost and/or installation of whatever solution we find?
Thanks,
