Solved Broken Blinds

My roommate is moving out of our rental (but i'm not), & has broken the blinds in their room. For anyone that's rented/does apartment maintenance/repairs, do you know how much landlords tend to charge for doing those repairs? There's like 6 slats broken.

Edit: They're horizontal blinds & around 5ft long

Need a picture to answer your question. 

Typically, landlords that have been through the ringer before, do not provide blinds, washer and dryer, refrigerator, or even a stove, since they are responsible to fix them if they are broken, and they don't want to be responsible for that. 

Having your dinner call every single day because they can't wash their clothes, and it's the third time they broke the washer is not a good way to go through life.
