I lived in an apartment like that once,
Had to use duct tape to hold the plastic onto the walls because the cold air would come in around the window frames....I left the plastic on in the summer too on some of the windows to keep the AC inside. Dont think the landlord liked the fact a small amount of paint pulled off when the duct tape got pulled off the window/wall.
I am sure I saved the land lord a ton off his heating bill. Once the blowing cold air was stopped by the plastic, we could turn down our heat all the way, because the people downstairs did not use plastic and would crank the heat.
