Can you rent one? Stud finder that is...my local lumber yard will rent out tools.
My local lumber yard has a stock of rental equipment....you might be able to rent a stud finder, and in the city I grew up in, the community center had a tool library...you checked them out like library books, and had to return the tool with in 2 weeks.

Stud finder is the right tool for the job. They aren't ridiculous expensive. Less than $20 at big box or home improvement stores. You never know when you might need one. In general, good investment.
Your landlord is really going to allow this? Maybe you can get a look at the architectural plans from the town or city you live in, otherwise don't waste time and get the stud finder I can't tell you how many times it's come in handy from putting in a new closet system to hanging heavy artwork. It's really paid off over the years. Think of it as an investment for the future cause we have had ours for a good 20 yrs.
