We have extremely crappy vinyl window throughout the house. They’ll need to be replaced eventually, but we just don’t have the money now.

The seal has been broken on a few of them and they are fogged. Our tenant is bugging us to get it fixed and is willing to split the cost of repair. Repair means replacing the glass and resealing and it isn’t extremely expensive.

Here’s my question…Should we just do this inexpensive temporary fix or get 3 replacement windows? Temporary fixes seem a waste of time, but thinking about this right now is giving me a headache.

The catch: Our block is designated to be landmarked in the near future. We would install proper historic windows with or without landmarks, but how much of a pain is it to deal with them?
