    The landlord probably is not obligated to pay to add insulation. Some states and cities do have programs that help landlords to improve energy efficiency by giving insulation discounts - maybe you should look into that (ask the gas or electric company) before you talk to the landlord.

    As far as cutting asbestos siding, there are safe and unsafe ways to do it, and your town may require a permit. Call the building inspector's office and ask.
