So I've just moved in to a place without any type of curtain. In the morning the sunshine comes straight to my room without any kind of filter.

I was thinking of the cheapest way to put some curtains there, nothing too fancy. Are hook and loop fasteners the best idea?

Curtains are $12 on amazon, the rod that holds them up is $3.

But this is /diy/ so you're probably looking for something cheaper, like using a thumb tack and your moms underwear

Don't bump on diy faggot.
Also is against the renter laws to not have curtains in every room

If you are renting, the landlord legally has to provide them.

No matter how highly you value yourself, your local codes don't necessarily apply to the rest of the world.

Hey buddy, this might be a message board about Cambodian basket weaving but it's still an AMERICAN Cambodian basket weaving message board.

I live in America
I rent property to families.
I put up mini-blinds in all of my properties
There is no code telling me I have to provide curtains.

And in Indiana, the landlord is under no legal obligation to provide them. They local ones require them, but they make you provide them.
