Tenants want to hang own curtain rods

[Paul Z.]

Hi everyone.

The drywalls in a vacant house were fixed and re-painted. I offered no-drilling curtain rods to the new tenants. They wanted to install their own double-rod ones, and doubted if mine would hold blackout curtains. They will probably remove their rods on move-out and leave holes in the walls. Any advice on this situation? Insist on using my rods? Ask them to leave their rods in place on move-out? Hold them responsible to repair the holes?

Cheers,

Paul
