WOW...overcomplicating this...drill a hole.
I live in an apartment, I have lived in many apartments over the years and I've always grown in them.
Drill the wall, it's easy to fix later with a quick trip to the hardware store.
I just drilled my closet door this time because I didn't feel I wanted to deal with spackle later, I'll just replace the $65 door when the time comes.
