How to know a good rent value

We use that plastic film you are talking about.  Our place is a bit drafty - not terrible, but enough that the gas bill is high and there are noticeable temperature gradients.  Plus, on the coldest days/nights, the apartment struggles to reach 68F even with the windows covered with plastic.  The plastic enables the place to heat up quicker, reduces drafts, and reduces the gas bill.

We just took it off tonight as our landlord is coming round tomorrow with an estate agent to put the place up for rent as we are moving out soon.  I don't feel guilty about having put it up, I just want to make sure the place looks good so we can get it rented out and not have to worry about breaking our lease.  Actually, I figure if the landlord is renting a place that isn't properly insulated, then tough luck, they'll have to put up with it.

Anyway, we use masking tape to stick it to the window frames/wall as the double sided sticky stuff they supply with the kit is rubbish, it doesn't work at all.  Unfortunately the masking tape does occasionally peel a bit of paint off, but we plan to touch it up when we move.  The double sided sticky tape isn't much better, as it leaves a sticky residue behind.

Maybe we may not have to use it but like the idea if we do. Unfortunately we wouldn't be much good at touching up the paint peels. What about painters tape? I don't know anything about that. maybe it wouldn't hold up the plastic?

I don't think I'll be very good at touching it up either, but it will look better than it does now.  I'm not going for perfect - like I say, since our landlord isn't prepared to put in better windows, then they'll just have to put up with it.  In Massachusetts part of the rental law is that the place can be heated up to 66F or 68F (I forget which).  On the coldest days/nights even with plastic film, it barely gets there, and I dread to think what it would be like without the film.  I'm not sure what painters tape is.  That might be what we're using, I'm not sure.  It's wide tape, and it's kind of a beige color.

I think painter tape is blue. Never used it but I'm assuming since it is for marking off for painting then it might not pull off the paint. Just don't know if it sticks well for plastic on windows.
