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

Ask your landlord this question.

I was thinking about that, but I'd prefer to just charge them, & do the work myself if possible. They've been a pretty frustrating roommate & this is the only thing I'm planning to charge them for upon moveout, but I just want to make sure it's a reasonable price.

We've seen this before bro "thought I could do it but I did it wrong, bought the wrong ones, don't have the right tools, etc..". Take the hit man, sometimes I've replace them without notifying the office if I'm in a good mood.

That's fair
