She did not, essentially we were told to figure our shit out ourselves. The Red Cross gave us a bit of money, bless them, but it only would have been for a few days. The lease doesn't say much about fire, only that the landlord has the right to terminate the lease in the event of a fire. She terminated it a few days after the fire- around June 20th.

She mentioned she would work with the insurance to try to get us that money back, but so far it seems like it hasn't been going anywhere. I understand her concern with the property being burned but I was also not having a lovely time over the summer with no permanent living situation

Reply to How cold is too cold when you've got a room with crappy windows? by radicallysadbro
Agreed with what everyone else said, plastic window insulation and space heaters are your best friend. Although I will say, make sure you also check that you aren't covering the heating vents in your room, as that can make a big difference. I also had a similar problem to yours, and one day discovered that the windows in my room actually fell open a few inches at the top if I didn't tape them shut. Hopefully not the case for you, but something to check for.
