Unless you own an apartment in a larger arpartment complex, you are not allowed to install such a heat pump (as a renter), and in every other scenario of home ownership you are very likely better off installing solar-thermal tubes on your roof. And in hot climates these tubes are extremely common.
I’m not convinced that having solar thermal tubes on your roof is ordinary circumstances and not having them is special circumstances

They’re cheap and operate for free. It is quite common in warm climates.
