Having read many articles on which type of window coverings are best for rental properties, I have found that both curtains and shades or blinds are equally looked at. They both have advantages and dis-advantages that should be taken into consideration.

For example: Some landlords like to put blinds as they look better and help to show the unit better. While for others curtains work better because they spend less time replacing them and curtains are easier to keep clean .

What are your views on this and how do you decide which window coverings to put in a unit? Have you ever considered letting the renter do it themselves.
