Cellular shades in rental?
I have a basement lock-off. My wife and I live upstairs. The blinds are broken and need to be replaced, upstairs and downstairs. For our own, I greatly prefer cellular shades. They look nice, easy to operate, easy to install, blackout in the bedrooms, extra sound and temperature insulation (efficiency upgrade?)...they're more expensive.
Should I do cellular shades for the basement rental too? The threads I've found on BP all recommend cheapo blinds because they'll never be cleaned and get broken anyway. Anyone with experience using nicer shades in rentals?
FYI - In the Colorado mountains, the increased efficiency in summer and winter is noticeable. This is a small and simple basement, C+ (?), renting for $975...because our market is crazy.
