Oh, I dunno. I've certainly read a number of posts on this very site that says the LL should take care of the lawn mowing and yard upkeep, with comments about how you don't want tenants to take care of the yard because they might not know what they're doing, might trim the trees and shrubs unnecessarily or incompetently, not water the grass, etc. If you like having a house with a yard, you do need a lawnmower and a garden hose.

As for window coverings, if your lease says that anything you put up that is affixed to the property becomes the property of the LL, then yeah, you're donating stuff. If you remove the window coverings and putty up the nail holes (some people use white toothpaste, kid u not!) and paint over them (if you have the paint and it matches), then that's okay but a lot of older houses have older wood, or wood that's been drilled and filled and won't take a decent nail or screw. It just depends.
