The worst is when you rent. I live in an area that doesn't really expect much cold or heat. All the windows are single paned. The sun beating on the roof raises the top floor to the outside temperature plus 5 degrees. I can't fix any of it because I'm only here for a few years.

Some jurisdictions will actually basically pay the landlord to improve those things, worth checking community block grants and other similar search terms for your location.

Renting is a pain for heat pumps too, why would a landlord spend extra on one when they can pass the cost of utilities on to the tenant?

It's kind of nice in cool climates. I've rented places where I never had to turn on the heat once all winter thanks to all the heat coming up from lower floors. Temps were almost always above 60F and usually above 65 which is perfectly fine for cozy sweaters and blankets.

This is something to consider for a future rental property.
