Curtain/Drapery Rods in Rentals
Putting up the rods in rentals is a good idea because:
1. Tenants are more likely to hang curtains if the rods are already there (rather than having to take the time to figure out what kind of window fixtures are needed, measure, etc.) Rods for picture and bay windows are a little tricky and a little expensive. Renters may either think they're too expensive and difficult to put up to put up their own. Rods for smaller windows are inexpensive, and those are the windows renters are less likely to be willing to leave without curtains (which can mean yet more holes in the wood).
2. It reduces the chances of a tenant's drilling extra holes around the window or otherwise making holes or or further compromising the window frame or walls around the top of the window.
