How do you handle window treatments in rentals?

Window treatments such as blinds and curtains.  Do you include them with the rental or do your tenants provide their own?

My experience so far has been to renovate-then-rent so I haven't included things like blinds and curtains yet because I figure tenants would want to choose their own anyway, but I'm curious what is the industry norm.

Also I should add...in multifamily buildings, a tenant taping up newspapers, shower curtains, shirts, blankets, etc instead of blinds kills the curb appeal and definitely lowers rent for the building and area. The blinds are worth the low investment.
