I don’t have to know a single one of those details, because I know for a fact that AC does not create a magic pressure differential within a house relative to the outside that could possibly negate hot humid air intrusion. That is your assumption, not mine. When the window is open the temperature differential across the opening with cause convention (mixing of the air). If his room actually is positively pressured enough relative to other rooms, then he is causing hot humid air to be pulling interior at other locations around the house. I have sympathy for OP, but in 90F, that sucks for whoever is paying for the AC.

So, now the argument is shifting, we care about the landlord’s power bill. We care about the landlord’s rights, we care about the landlord’s property like it’s our job (worrying about potential, speculative damage), but the second it comes time to care for OP in a thread where they are seeking support? Nah. A/Cs do take care of humidity, I doubt very expensive damage could be caused in a small, closet-sized room. OP could agree to be held responsible for damage, they might have already done so in their lease. Let me put OP and their landlord on separate sides of a scale, do I care more about the person struggling or the person who could easily just tolerate a tenant having a single window being open in a small room for most of the day in California. You said it yourself, you sympathize with OP. Feeling bad for them isn’t the same as caring for them and understanding that they experienced trauma from their landlord’s actions. The people in this thread added to that trauma.
