Hello,
I live in a small apartment in NYC. I have two sinks, one bathroom and one kitchen. The bathroom has a small faucet that I am not sure I would be able to attach anything to and the kitchen is a more modern style faucet that does not have any room for attachments. I have attached pictures for reference. I suspect my best bet would be to rig something to the kitchen sink plumbing but don't want to do anything that would require me to permanently alter the plumbing (I rent and don't want to lose my security deposit). Are there any RODI filter options that I can consider for my 13.5 gallon Fluval Evo that would work with my situation?

I like the RO Budie from Aquatic Life. It's small and has worked well for me.

Agree with first pic faucet likly being able to unscrew. I use a Python copper adapter to go from sink to RODI female thread adapter.

For unit, I'd recommend at least a 3-4 stage BRS unit. Aquatic buddies will cost you more in the long run for proprietary cartridges so not greatest option unless really limited in space and don't minf upgrading unit later if you get a lager tank.
