You've been there for years. My immediate thought is for you to move. Your lease should be up and you should be on a month to month tenancy. Give your 30 days notice and get the hell out of there to someplace better.
If you really want to stay there, clearly document what the issues are in a letter to the landlord. Include photographs and references to how long it's been a problem. Sign it, Date it and send it Certified Mail Return Receipt. Tell the landlord you expect all repairs to be made within X number of days or weeks after receipt of letter, otherwise you'll be forced to move, and they'll have to make the repairs anyway in order to rent it out again.

certainly. make effective you provide him a replica of the bill for the aircon restoration. If he demands that funds, call a lawyer. EDIT: As an more suitable note, if he's not qualified to apply Freon, then he won't be able to fix it himself if it makes use of freon and that is what it really is leaking besides. you would possibly want to care to ask him in a letter that you deliver (i like that answer, it really is more suitable than mine).

google "PA tenants rights". That will tell you both your rights and how to enforce those rights.
Laws very from state to state so it's hard to answer you for those of us that don't live in PA.
Just my thoughts
