If you're not picky on looks and don't need the patio door secure (up high enough) you could just rip a piece of wood 6" or so to the height of the door. Drill a hole in the wood for the exhaust and sandwich it between the frame and the door.

Or carefully read the bylaws to find out what they can do about it. I lived in a building with a rule about no dogs bigger than a toaster. If you kept one, it was a $10/month fine. Each month. Forever. So the guy downstairs with the big dog paid an extra 10 bucks a month on his fees

just an example... You will get a better quality unit for less than half the price. Just my opinion though. Some people just won't buy something used. I'm dutch.

HUGE on how everything looks. I mean to the point where I am starting to consider ordering a new tank. But thanks for the suggestion. Well this danby I have been looking at seems to have good reviews (minus it being a bit noisey) but if I can drop the temp down 4 degree's i will be happy.
I took a look on kijiji and there are mostly window ones and all the portable ones are like $50-100 less than brand new and look like crap. well thanks for the suggestions guys. I will let you know how it goes

Definitely go with an AC.
I live in a one bedroom apartment that has only two windows in it and a wall between them so I get no cross breeze. One window is in the living room, the other in the bedroom. My tank, usually hits about 84 degrees inside when it is 30 degrees outside and gets hgher if the room isn't air condiitoned. Last year used a Danby 5200btu AC (the cheap ones from Walmart) and it cooled down my livingroom nicely. (11ftx17ft area). In the bedroom, instead of shutting the window, I kept the window fan in there which has the dual intake and exhaust function on it. During the day, from 6:30am until 10pm I have the fan running on exhaust. At 10pm, when it starts getting cooler outside, I reversed it. This worked nicely to keep temps down inside the apartment and the tank temps ranged from a low of 78 to high of 82 for the whole summer. As others have suggested. Keep an eye on Kijiji ads in your area for good used AC's. Check to see if they are energy star or not. Go to Costco, if you have one in your area and know someone with a card you can go in with if you don't have your own. Last month, I found a Danby 8000btu AC with remote there for $167 and my local Walmart was selling the same unit for $229
