Thoughts on ceiling fans with lights, are they worth it?

I recently have bought my first investment property! WOOOHOO!! The house does not have ceiling fans in any of the bedrooms, nor ceiling lights for that matter. What are everyone's thoughts/experiences on ceiling fans with lights in their rental properties and should I install them or stick to installing just a ceiling light?

I personally love a ceiling fan in my room but have lived in rentals myself with both fan and no fan so I thought I'd reach out to see what others personally do and if people find them to be huge problems or not.

Thanks for the feedback!

We always install ceiling fans (with lights) in every bedroom and usually in the living and dining rooms. They're not that expensive and I think makes tenants happy. Our rentals are B or C class SFR. Make sure the structure/box that the fans are mounted to are robust enough to support the fan. It would be pretty bad to drop one of these on your sleeping occupant.
