Moving to a new apartment. During visit of the unit, the landlord agreed to allow storage in it. Initially he wanted me to lock them to a rack in the underground garage. Told him that was a deal breaker. He relented and I told him there were drill free options, citing ceiling to floor tension rack as an example.

The lease states storage must not anchor to walls, floors and ceilings. And then he sent me photos of bike repair stands. I haven't responded. Bike repair stands are not ideal for bike storage for 2 bikesnor are they particularly space efficient.

I'm going to interpret "not anchored" as in not drilling in screws. What are good options for 2 bikes that will keep the apartment in good condition? I have 2 elderly cats, they are pretty much sedentary at this stąge but want to keep them in mind. Need rack that will stand up to cats possibly bumping into it.

Will tension racks and gravity racks hold up wuth light accidental touches? Are the contact points padded to avoid scuffing of the surface? I'm also considering velosocks too.

The guy seems to be a little anal retentive about this so I'm trying to cover the bases.
