Either way, put that in the category of gawd-awful things pet owners sometimes have to do for their pets.

We found them because the two rooms in which they were located were unseemingly hot and of course told our landlords straight away. Weeks went by during a very hot summer with no reply. Fed up, I made a copy of the section of the lease where it says the landlord is responsible for prior damage/general upkeep to the property (I think it was Section 2.2), wrote a very curt letter citing the enclosed copy of the lease and pointed out for the millionth time our requests for repairs. I think the ever-so-legal tone of the letter frightened them because said window panes were replaced that weekend. One need not be an actual attorney to frighten bullies into submission. Be sure to use phrases like "Further to our conversation on August 28,..." and "Per section 2.2 in the signed lease agreement,..." :-) I once moved into a house that had two broken window panes (it was a big, old place, with loads of windows before you think I’m totally blind for not noticing them early on).
