I would like to get a 3 - 2prong adapter preferably one that plugs into the wall and possibly has more then one. I just want to get rid of this extension cord so I have more free space, but the problem is I only have 2prongs in my walls. So if anyone has recommendations that would be great. Also preferably one I don't have to manually install which is the hard part because I live in an apartment and my owner is kind of a douche bag.

You will need to find a way to properly ground if you only have 2 prong outlets which are not to building code anymore those are fairly uncommon.

 

 

You will either need to replace the outlet or get theses and properly ground them, you cannot just plug it into the wall and use a 3 prong on it safely without grounding:
