99.9% of the time Soundbars or HTiB (Home Theater in a Box) systems are not a good investment of your time and money. It is the general consensus of r/hometheater not to recommend these things and instead simply steer a user toward a 2.0 or 2.1 system made of quality, Audio-Centric name brand components which are easy to assemble and cheap enough for low budget or space conscious buyers. Most can be expanded to 5.1 if you buy the correct items in the correct order. For further explanation please read Why You Shouldn't Buy a Soundbar Please be aware r/Soundbars exists as well as you will be met with opposition to posting about soundbars here.

AV installer here..you'll be fine! If you wanted to feel safer you could just slide the mount over the right a smidge and slide the TVto the left on the mount More on reddit.com

I think what you're kind of describing is just a giant chunk of plywood attached to the wall. That could be a viable option and let tenants do whatever they want and it's pretty hard to screw that up; but people get "creative" DIY'ing in a house that isn't theirs, so I don't love this idea. Alternatively, if you want to install the mount and think it is a viable upgrade to your property, I would advise the following: Make it clear that the mount you are installing on behalf of the tenant is now part of the home; including the VESA mount plate. It must be left when they move out for the next tenant to use. Don't let the tenant mount the TV themselves. They'll invariably mess it up. Do it yourself and do it right so there are no complaints about a TV falling off the wall ruining your floor and wall. Take detailed notes on the mount make/model so that when the tenant does not leave the VESA mount plate, you can get a new one (or just buy one now and put it in storage to save you the headache later and consider it operational cost for every tenant) All this said, I would not allow mounted TVs because then you need to deal with the aesthetics of electrical to the TV. To do it right, you should have an outlet adjacent to the mounting hardware. This can obviously be a huge expense if you don't want the spaghetti monster of cables underneath the TV. Mounting a TV is only step one of making a TV look integrated in a living place. More on reddit.com
