I live in an apartment with high ceilings, 15 feet, and my windows run about twelve of that. Two of them are drafty as hell and I need to seal them off for winter. The problem is that the windows are recessed almost a foot back from the wall, so there’s no frame to put plastic over. The only solution I can think of is to borrow a ladder and caulk them (they don’t open anyway) but I was wondering if there’s a less permanent option.
Maybe some painters plastic with two or three tension rods in the mix? You'll certainly need one at the top and the bottom, and, depending on the height of the window, maybe one in the middle.

Could you not shove a heap of Blu-tack around the edge?
As cat said though, call the landlord, that's a maintenance issue.
Don't they sell plastic that sticks to windows when you blow dry it in place? I don't know how well it works but my college buddies would use it to try to save money in the winter.
It's hard to know without seeing the window, but you could also use spray-on insulating foam, if you're not worried about appearance. It's theoretically waterproof and is fairly easy to peel of a glass surface when it is dry.
