Central Ny - Landlord Said We Are Not Allowed To Open Bedroom Windows.

Card image cap

I moved into my partner's apartment and noticed that the bedroom windows are missing a crank and it appears that the windows are screwed together. We just got a new portable AC unit and wanted to vent air through it.

Upon inspecting I realized that they open up normally, they are casement windows. I messaged the landlord and they said that they would personally prefer if we didn't open those windows. Apparently they have lived here before and they've been closed way back when.

They voiced there concerns about how they are old and that if there was issues they would have a tough fix on their hand.

What should I do? At first I said I understand what they are saying but some of my family members are telling me that we can open it up regardless. What should I do?

I would like to add that we live in an upper and lower floor house for a month-to-month rent. We are on the upper floor. There was no mention of window rules prior to this. All the other rooms have windows that open up as well.
