Curtains and Curtain Rods

[Barbara McArthur]

I'm getting my first investment house ready to rent.  Within several blocks there are houses that are rented to very poor people or Section 8.  Often these houses have sheets or blankets draped over the windows.  I hate the way it makes a house look.  I'm thinking of putting a "no sheets or blankets in the windows" clause in my contract. I don't mind leaving all the curtains, drapes, and curtain rods in place when I move out.  I don't want people putting up their own rods or window shades because they often do such a poor job that they ruin the corners of the windows.  Is this unreasonable?
