Tape seams, cracks, flues, poorly insulated windows, doors. Someone once told me that if you add up all of small cracks and air leaks in a home, it would be the equivalent of an open window. We lived in a 105 year old home at the time. Most of the wooden window frames had expanded/contracted throughout the years, and a rubber mallet did wonders for resetting the frame and moldings to airtight status. Taping plastic over the worst windows helped until we could repair & replace the worst offenders, heavy curtains helps as well. Castles used heavy woolen tapestries to help.

Check your local tenant laws, landlords may be required to heat your home to a certain degree if heat is included in the rental charge.
