Re: Replacing Blinds by Garry (Iowa) on November 27, 2017 @13:32

Since you furnished the blinds at the start of the tenancy, the tenant must leave you with blinds in the windows when he leaves. Since he has thrown your old ones away, he must leave the blinds there that he recently put up. It was his choice to replace them, not yours. If he takes them with him when he moves, you can charge him "something" for the missing blinds. I say "something", because after about 8-10 years, the blinds become very dusty and sun-faded,(which can be considered normal wear and tear) to the point that even if there were no other damage done to them, you would be replacing the blinds at your expense anyway, to give a new tenant some new, upgraded blinds, just as you did with this tenant.
