Well, you still need to drill holes for the full metal bracket so I don't see how that would be different.
I did two things to 'temporarily' mount my QS8s in my apartment. The first was to use a couple of 1x4s 8' long. I wedged them between the ceiling and floor and then mounted the standard qs brackets to that. I used a 2x4 as a cross piece. That was cheap and fast.
If you are handy and have some tools, there are a few things you can do.
The one QS5 is out in the open so I replaced the 1x4 with an 8' piece of 1 1/4" dowel. I drilled a hole in one end to fit a 5/8" bolt and then chiseled out the top part of the hole a little to fit the mating nut. Screw bolt into nut. Place dowel in position. Unscrew bolt until it holds said dowel in place with pressure/friction. This works very well. I made a clamping cross piece to mount the QS bracket to that sort of works. Still need to figure out a better clamp
Filling a few screw holes with plaster is pretty simple. Are you not allowed to mount things on your walls?
