    A new tenant complaining about no curtains in one room. A good landlords new nightmare tenant?

    She is allows to put her own up etc. To her own choosing.

    Some people have to take responsibility at times?

  • Window coverings are a nesescity, it is unreasonable to ask a tenant to use stick on hooks.

    I have always had to put up curtain rails of one sort or another in properties I have rented.  If you are worried about holes, they are fairly easy to fill before leaving but I've never had a complaint about curtain pole/rail holes.  You can get tension poles but they aren't always able to hold the weight of curtains so make sure you get one that has good springs in them.

    Where did the Landlord state this?

    Is this a furnished or unfurnished property? If the former, it's not unreasonable to expect there to be blinds or curtains in all the habitable rooms.
