How do you temporarily seal-off a woodstove?

[Phishfinder]

Hello...new to the forum.

Live in a rental house with a woodstove /w insert in a fireplace. After trying to have the chimney cleaned we were told the system was unsafe... LL will be repairing in the spring but to get insurance on the house I need to seal er' up.... temporarily of course.

What is the quickest way to seal er' up temporarily. Keep in mind the insurance gods will need to be happy with it.

THanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Sounds to me like a problem that needs to be promptly dumped squarely into the landlord's lap. Rick (Yeah, I've been both tenant & landlord).

Call me skeptical . . . but a) it's an old post, b) this member has exactly two posts to his credit and c) this post seems like blatant advertising.
