For discussion sake, why do picture nail holes bother you? I ask because I just went through this with my mom, who didn't want to put nail holes in her newly remodeled place. It took some convincing that you can just dab some spackle in most holes and not even need touch-up paint. Large picture frames need bigger nails, but even then, dab some spackle and a little touch-up paint.

Command strips are nice and all, but I wouldn't trust them for a heavy frame, and they don't come off so neat and clean after several years.

My guess would be an apartment.

But that's kind of my point, so what? You're allowed to hang photos in an apartment. If you're there for any appreciable time they're going to repaint anyway. And if the walls are the typical shade of white or beige you don't even necessarily need to use touchup.

If your landlord has an issue with nail holes that small then you're in for a painful tenancy.
