I'm moving out of rented house and have a ring from a mug on chest of drawers. Can it be removed?

Found this (haven't tried any of them though):

STAINS AND SCRATCHES ON VARNISHED WOOD FURNITURE OR FLOORS

ALCOHOL AND WATER RINGS
Moisten a cloth in salad or olive oil and touch the cloth to some rottenstone (limestone, polishing particles) and gently rub the stained area.
Do not wax or polish over an alcohol or water ring. That will permanently set the stain on the wooded finish. If the ring is new, you may apply a clean blotter over the stain and press a warm iron on the blotter until the stain is removed. Do not use a hot iron. Do not use steam. If you'd rather not try the iron and blotter technique, you can rub the stain with a soft cloth and olive or salad oil. If this doesn't remove the stain you can try rubbing the stain with mayonaise or petroleum jelly and then leave it overnight. Wipe it clean the next morning.
