I don't know how people move into appartments where they aren't allowed to drill holes in the wall. This would make an appartement unusable for me.
Unanchored furniture is extremely risky and kills infants every year.
Yeah, there's a risk that you might drill into a pipe. In the last 20 years that happened to me once, and it was annoying, since it cost 200€ to have the pipe fixed, but it's not really a big deal.
