    Default Window Treatments For Longtime Resident

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California

    Took over management of a building 6 months ago. A problematic tenant of 7 years is requesting new window treatments, all the venetian blinds the apartment was rented with have become unserviceable.

    Is it the our responsibility to get a tenant new window treatments?

    Thx

    Q: Is it the our responsibility to get a tenant new window treatments?

    A: What does the lease say?

    There is no mention of window treatments in the lease, just that the tenant received the apartment with everything in working order.

    Tell her she is welcome to install any window treatment she pays for.

    Then ask her to tell you when they are installed and you will come by and admire them.

    Here's information on making repairs, although it addresses more serious defects than problems with window treatments. I haven't investigated deeply, and haven't looked at all in relation to California, but off the top of my head I don't recall ever seeing a state law that requires a landlord to provide window treatments (although most do). Local ordinances are another matter, and should be checked; I understand that New York City requires landlords to provide window treatments.

    The language of your lease may control your respective duties. Your duties may also depend upon the cause of the problems with the blinds - did they wear out due to age, or did the tenant mistreat them?
