From my days of apartment living I found that some good 'ol scotch tape works well to repair broken slats in mini blinds. Hold's long enough for the manager to complete the move-out walk-through

scotch tape is a magic fix for many things
this was actually to help fix the cords to make them less of a danger to kids (who have gotten caught in the looped cords). they don't make them this way anymore (the cords no longer loop on the bottom). people w/ old blinds can use these kits to update their cords & make them safer.
