I"m convinced now that you're right, but I read it the other way too.

Won't the landlod dislike that even more? The four screws can be
removed and the holes spacked, before the tenant leaves, but what's
going to happen when one tries to rip off the metal that's glued to
the wall?
The url you give below looks good, I think.
