We lease 1 floor in an older building. The landlord installed new AC in the building prior to our occupation as the old system was simply registers. As tenants per the lease we are required to maintain the AC that was paid for and installed by the landlord.
We have had numerous complaints from the staff about the lack of fresh air in the building. We keep the temp and humidity at allowed levels it’s the lack of fresh air that is the issue.
I have asked the property management about the situation and they say that they don’t provide fresh air circulation/ventilation systems. Are their no regulations about bring the building up to meet the codes? It doesn’t seem fair that we should have to pay for special ventilation or modifications for one floor in a building we do not own. Can you advise? Do we have any options in tenant’s right?
I am looking for an answer to what the landlord’s responsibilities are for fresh air intake.

Thanks for your response- we have no issues with the temperature or humidity. It is purely the fresh air supply rate- as it should not normally fall below 5 to 8 litres per second per occupant. As it stands in this building we have no fresh air intake at all other then windows as described are not suitably located for opening. I am looking for an answer to what the landlords responsibilities are for fresh air intake.

Over the last year we have had numerous complaints from the staff about the lack of fresh air in the building and problems with opening windows only to be blasted with ice cold air, rain in winter, boiling hot air in the summer (which competes with the AC) and always road noise. I have asked the property management about the situation and they say that they don’t provide fresh air circulation/ventilation systems.

Location of signs - Vehicles
Where should we place the signs in cars? Is there a specific place. I have been told they must be visible from the outside and inside. Can anyone clarify?

Location of signs: Where do we put the no smoking signs in the company cars? There is nothing in the online guide and I cant get anyone to agree where they can be placed. Some say windows facing out- some the opposite. Can anyone clear this up?
