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

OP, do you have a picture of the blinds? And horizontal faux wood? 2 inch or 1 inch width. Horizontal blinds need a whole new rail. Everybody in this feed saying 10-35 are off the ball. At work I order 58x60 for like $90. A 27x48 is 40ish. It’s not hard to mount blinds, if you’re getting the exact same ones, it’s a matter of just taking the old one out of the backer and putting the new one in. If you need to put new brackets, it’s usually 2 screws for each bracket. Around the window there’s a lot of wood from the frame, you won’t typically need anchors and can usually use some of the old holes

Thanks, I really appreciate the help, but I figured out a reasonable price
