Aircon fell out window (sopuli.xyz)

I rent an apartment in a big subdivided house, I live on the ground floor. An aircon unit just fell out of my upstairs neighbours window and landed just outside my own window. This was a bit alarming because not half an hour earlier I was poking my head out that window to water my plant (the plant is fine thankfully). There's a whole row of aircons sitting outside windows that could all also fall out which is also concerning.

I'm curious if there's anything I can do in the way of complaining to anyone about my landlord not providing a safe living environment?

I'm doubtful, but wanted to ask, just in case.

This does not answer your question, so sorry about that.

I think about this literally every day when we put our ACs out in the summer. I bought a few no-hardware window mount AC platforms that kind of hang off the inside of the window frame. Worth every penny for the peace of mind, not to mention not tearing my windows apart holding an AC by the wood framing. Maybe a cheap way for your landlord to also never think about this again.
