Curtains or Blinds in a new rental?

[Mike Gordon]

Do you put curtain rods or blinds in a new rental? I have another LTR coming on line soon and I think I’m going to install curtain rods and let the tenant buy or choose curtains.

I have blinds in other rentals and they get dirty and break often enough that they can be a headache.

Do you also add the curtains?

Blinds. Yes they get dirty, but there are tools that attach to your vacuum that can clean them. And you'll probably get cheaper ones anyway, so if they get damaged, just replace them at the end of the lease.....
