My Landlord won't put screens on my windows.

Situation

It is getting warmer outside and I want to open my windows to let the air circulate.  My Landlord doesn't want to supply them.  What should I do?

Response

It is only required that a Landlord supply 1 screened window per room.  Anything more than that is a "gift" from your Landlord. 

You might let the Landlord know that you will be OK with 1 screen per room but you would really appreciate an extra screen in one or two of your rooms.  Or you could offer to pay for the extra ones.  Or you could offer to go and have them made at the local hardware store, saving the Landlord time, in exchange for the extra screens. 

See what you can negotiate.
