| Description | Don't try to hang a blanket in a window in this Ohio town.
The City Council has banned the use of blankets, garbage bags, newspaper or other unsightly items in place of curtains.
Shades, miniblinds and other conventional window coverings in houses and apartments must work and be hung properly, according to the law approved 8-1 Monday. Sheets sewn to look like drapes also will be acceptable.
Violators will receive warnings and could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Residents who just moved in will be given some wiggle room and landlords will be responsible for getting renters to comply, said Ron Petkovic, the city's housing manager. |
