A drip Pan is required if it can leak and do structural damage. This actual house or building foundation must be higher.

Thank you @donaldblank8873 this unit was on the ground floor of a slab-constructed building. You are correct that a drip pan is needed when the unit can leak into structural areas. That would be something to look for during an inspection.
