Blackout blind or a good eye mask when the streetlight is right at the window

Blind, and specifically a blackout blind mounted on the wall above the frame rather than inside the recess, with the curtains left in place over the top. The leak you have is almost entirely edge leak, and mounting outside the recess is what kills it: an inside-mount blind of any quality still glows around three sides.

Renting is not really an obstacle. Four small screws into the wall above the window, filled on the way out, is well within normal wear as long as you are not drilling tile.
