One other option: You can get a 6-outlet adaptor that plugs into a
dual outlet. You remove the existing faceplate, plug in the outlet
multiplier, and afix the new outlet with the screw that formerly
held the outlet's faceplate.

Here's an example:

Doesn't really reduce the fire hazard much. Only removes the constant
flexing from cords getting tugged, or removed/inserted. The crappy
connection between the duplex and six-way (usually just 2 3-ways in
same shell) is still there, and now it can overheat without being
extremely obvious in seconds. I've smoked a six-way before.

Mitigation of a fire hazard was not part of the original question. The only
issue was how to keep the plugs from falling out of the sockets without
bending them.

Besides, it's a rental.


The house is irrelevant. The people sleeping in it, on the other hand...
