It might be a good idea to have your lease forbid blocking windows with foil, or other opaque items other than curtains or commercially available window blinds (that are not flags or political).Drug dealers, and fake drug dealers tend to block windows so no light can get in, and no Police Officers can see in.As far as flags it's not a proper venue for National flags, and gives you leverage in case someone decides to hang flags offensive to some (such as public display of WWII Axis flags, or socio/political flags) that might be detrimental to your rental business.Good Luck!
