Vertical blinds are a common source of maintenance issues and bond disputes.
They have two functions: rotating the slats and sliding the blinds open and closed. To slide them correctly, the slats need to be rotated into the right position first.
When something goes wrong, it can be difficult to determine whether it’s fair wear and tear, accidental damage or tenant negligence.
Roller blinds have one simple function, fewer moving parts and fewer opportunities for things to go wrong.
I’d also argue they’re likely to last longer.
Consider practicality and ways to minimise the possibility for error.
Sometimes, the best investment decision is the one that prevents the headache in the first place 🏡
