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.
I would think after bills like those, they would upgrade windows on rentals that rent includes heat bill in, would be cheaper, prolly what they would of spent that winter, just doing the windows, thenfore paying for themselves
