You can request that your landlord place insulation in the attic of the property that you are renting, however the landlord is under no obligation to you to install the requested insulation.

Likewise, the landlord will not be required any any governmental entity to place insulation in the attic unless the landlord has done remodelling in the past and as a condition of the remodel insulation was required to be placed in the unit.
