Our owner has said no screws in the walls. What held up for you without them?

Ask the owner about just the bookshelf. Furniture tipping over is the one thing on your list that would worry me. Most owners will agree to two small holes if you offer to fill and paint them when you leave. Does the shelf hold anything heavy?

Pressure gates move. Ours walked a few inches every time someone leaned on it. Fine for slowing a crawler down, not something I'd trust at the top of stairs.

We were renting when our younger son was crawling. The adhesive corner guards lasted about a week each; he learnt to peel them off faster than they stuck. What did work was moving things instead of guarding them. The shoe rack went inside a cupboard, and the TV wires went behind a sofa we pushed across that corner. It looked odd for a year, but it cost nothing.

Plug point covers. Cheap, and no owner can object to them.
