    Yep this is all you need.
    Let your tenants live normal lives and they'll stay a lot longer which is better for everyone involved.

    You do have to be careful and gentle removing 3M hooks. If the removal tab is directed downwards and paralled to the wall you're usually ok. If not parallel (ie downwards and outwards) you can lose a chunk of plaster.

    Why not suggest the idea of a picture rail to the landlord? This would solve the quibbles indefinitely. Ie a thin length of wood that runs the width of the wall. You can attach it to the studs. Then when tenants want to put up pictures, they get a picture rail hook to put on the rail itself, attach some fishing wire or something to that, and voi-la.

    Picture rails are often present in older Victorian-style homes and it is a sensible feature that serves the rental population well.

    I'd pay for it to be done properly and know the quality

    I'm with you Bob, I paid a handyman $100 to put up a few hooks in 'reasonable locations'. Not much money to know it was done right and would be suitable for the next tenants also...
