Can you put a flag pole mount outside your window? If you can I suggest this bracket (available at The Home Depot for less than $11):

Put an aluminum pole in this plastic flag pole holder on you wall as high up as you are permitted to put it and trail a wire down the wall from it. The center coax conductor goes to the aluminum pole (start with a pole and wire length of around 9' each), and the coax shield goes to the wire hanging down against the wall. You are making a dipole. Tune it to lowest SWR by shortening the pole and wire by equal amounts until you've gotten the SWR where you need it.
