HVAC in attic in Southern US

The rental is in the Birmingham, AL area and the attic was installed in the attic. There was a blockage in the hose and it caused substantial damage. I'm struggling to obtain clear explanation from my property management company as to what is / can be done to ensure it doesn't happen again. But is installation of HVAC in attic common practice?

@Laura Kusto

Yes, HVAC (main unit) is commonly installed in the attic in southern states. It operates the same as if it were in the basement/crawlspace or a closet. 

The A/C condenser is installed outside, like the common practice elsewhere.
