    Not true. Comes down to your tenancy agreement.
    There was clauses in law surrounding fixing baby gates, earthquake proofing furniture by screwing to wall, minor alterations etc.
    I have in the past when I was renting read the tenancy agreement that said I could screw into the wall if made good before moving out.
    I find it completely reasonable to put several screws into the rafters or inside a cupboard that easy very easy to patch the holes and paint the cupboard. Or get a painter in before you leave to do the patchwork if that's what the tenancy agreement states (professional work)

    You may not even get inspected.. I’d say you are algood to fix through a corner into studs on 2 seperate surfaces. If you’re worried then buy some filler and paint and leave it in the cupboard by the safe for your next tenancy inspection and insist to be there with the agent.. if the agent opens the cupboard say you have the means to repair and make good when you leave. The inspectors have discretion whether or not you will be inspected. I just shifted and updated my address, I chased up the arms office to make sure they were aware of my adress change as I hadn’t had an officer get in touch about an inpection ,the response was the responsibility lies with me to ensure the safe is secure. I was wasn’t deemed to be inspection worthy apparently

    Probably should look in the ceiling, had one tenant put all their rubbish in the ceiling on moving out day, including meat scraps, so they didn't have to get rid of it elsewhere

    My son was inspected in a rental 18 mths back. While he did not have any firearms there he had to demonstrate something. The inspector suggested and was happy with 2 large eye bolts and a cable with padlock. The first verision was rejected as the eye bolts were not deamed heavy enough, guy was good and suggested what he wanted to see. So he got a heavier set and screwed them into framing inside wordrobe which was accepted.

    I may, or may have not put some sea food in a bit of glad wrap in the buffer tube of one my AR15s I handed in.
    The glad wrap could have been so sealed as to NOT keep in odors and putrefaction once it started.





    I'm joking.

    Any two sides of it.
    I went with big bolts, M12 100mm jobies and the inspector was stoked.
    I found out where my studs were and drilled new holes in my safe to suit.

    Worked a treat.
