I can control the temp while it is on but not when it goes off and on that the landlord does.
I have spoken to the landlord and he refuses to do anything, been down the PRTB and Threshold route as well

Hi harbour Dolphin, I was in a very similar situation a few years ago. On the smaller windows I managed to find perspex sheeting with strips that the sheet clipped into (once cut to size), You fix the strips arround frame then clip sheet into it. Easy to unclip too. Can't remember where I got it from though. Also when the room is warm you could get some sealant (like bathroom sealant) and if you feel around all your window frames for 'the tinyest leak of cold air coming in ,you could seal these areas (I promise it will help) You must try to make your house 'totally' air tight. Thats a no.1 priorty.
