Hi all. Wonder if you can advise. I gave a fully unfurnished property to a tenant and they were aware of it. Now they have moved in, they have asked if I can get all poles bought and fitted in the rooms for curtains. It will be added cost for me to buy 6 poles and fitting cost ect. What is best way to respond to this request please?

Its entirely up to you - they rented the place as seen so there is no requirement for you to put up poles. You may see it as an improvement you want to make to make your property more attractive or you make think that if you give in to this then they will be asking for other things too. You could let them put up poles themselves - but that might make a mess and they might take them when they leave.
A compromise might be to put them in the lounge, where they would make the most difference.

A few of mine had curtain poles when I bought them. These got broken fairly soon, and I replaced with 2" horizontal venetian blinds. These seem to work okay, and can be washed in the bath if short enough.To save them chiming in, JPKeates, Theartfullodger, Boletus, Mindthegap, Macromia, Holy Cow & Ted.E.Bear think the opposite of me on almost every subject.

My flat already had curtains when I bought it, so I left them in. Then my very obliging first tenant installed vertical blinds all round, which he left when he went to say at Her Majesty's Prison. I have left them in for all other tenants since.
In response to the OP, I would put the poles up.

by PlumbobWe have literally just relet our bungalow. The agent who handled the new let and the previous one, which only lasted a year due to the tenant having to go to a care home, asked for the initial inspection report from 10 years ago to apparently check against the new one done in May 21 . The whole place...

Reply to Access to neighbouring property act.by PlumbobI have asked the neighbour politely several times and so has my gardener but just got a tirade of foul language as apparently she doesn't want to look at the flank wall of my bungalow and prefers the ivy.
