Those blinds are super easy to replace and much cheaper than any deposit. The Landloard (or the toady and furtive maintenance man) have likely sourced those from the closest (or the second or third closest if it's cheaper) hardware store.

If you study the mounting of the existing blinds. It's probably pretty easy to buy a similar replacement so you won't even have to install the mounting hardware. Your cat didn't damage that.

the big box store can often cut blinds to fit your windows if they're not standard size.

Cats Can Yell, Too
I Sprayed Everywhere
Fleas! Fleas! Fleas!

I just removed them and plan to play innocent if asked. It's been 20 years. Unlikely they have pics.

i don't think they can hold you on 20-year-old plastic venetian blinds

Yeah, probably not. And they have never asked for an updated deposit. Still. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE BLINDS.

I haven’t done it yet but I figured this out for the crappy doors I have. They will charge $150 to replace a paper door with a whole in it but it’s $50 dollars from homedepot.

Everyone always says it's easy, but by God I cannot figure out how to easily pop the blinds into or out of their mounted holders.

It's a nightmare every time...
