I'm dealing with a frustrating situation in my old rented house where the window frames aren't straight, making it hard to fit the removable mosquito screens properly. There are gaps of various sizes around the edges of the wooden frames, which let mosquitos sneak in. I'm looking for some practical ways to patch these gaps without fully enclosing the window since the handle has a weird shape. My landlord isn't willing to help with this, so any suggestions would be appreciated!

Have you tried using self-adhesive foam weatherstripping around the edges of the removable frames? It's a great way to seal those gaps and should help keep the mosquitos from getting in.
Another option is to glue or tape some strips of mosquito mesh directly onto the frame, letting them hang over the edges. Once you've got them in place, you can trim the excess to cover the gaps. This way, you can adjust as needed while keeping those pesky mosquitos out!
You could definitely use some duct tape for a quick fix! If you're looking for something that blends better, consider getting some screen repair tape. It's designed specifically for fixing these kinds of issues without sticking out too much.
