Stop payment on the check and issue a replacement for a lesser sum.

She may cancel the check it a fee.

Yes, for me personally it would be an emergency like a gushing leak! (k almost!) . I'd never cope in that heat without!

What a disgrace!!!
In these soaring temperatures?!
I'd get a Hebrew-speaking friend or family member on the phone if it's a cultural thing on your part.
Would the landlord let his family members swelter away for a month without ac?!
I'm shocked.

Doesn't it depend if it's on the contract?

In Israel the landlord is responsible for fixing things that break. I think it's part of the law even (don't quote this!)...
If you can look through your checkbook and know what number check he has for this month, you can call the bank and tell them not to let it through.
First tell the landlord:
Shavua tov!
My AC is not working in the bedroom, It is your responsibility. I will cancel this month check if it is not fixed. Do you want me to find someone, or do you know someone good/cheap who does this.
In three days if it is not fixed, I am calling the bank...
BTW if you have infants, this is considered a possible PIKUACH NEFESH and might be allowed to fix ON SHABBOS!!
Don't be a freier! Don't let him walk over you. This is serious.
Until it is fixed, put on the one in the living room and leave the door open. It should cool down the rest of the house. Or dampen your clothes a bit to keep cool. Or put a cold bottle of water in your bed to touch your feet while sleeping.

Have you gotten any further?
Do you have an Israeli friend who can talk on your behalf if necessary?

Thank you all for your advice.
Before shabbat they sent a message that someone will come fix it this week- no update yet.
I usually pay rent on the 1st of the month but August is also the first month of a new contract (which has still not been signed because they didn't send me a final version) so they don't actually have any new checks from me yet.
I'm very lost as to how to proceed. Do I just tell them that I won't pay rent or sign a new lease until this issue is resolved- and then once it is do they still get the full month of rent?

Get someone in yourself, pay up front but take it off next months rent (August)
