I recently moved to a new apartment. My current BRS RODI unit no longer fits on the faucets in my apartment. My apartment now has the beaded hose style, so none of the fittings work. I am obviously not allowed to mess with any plumbing/cutting of pipes etc. Is there any advice on what I can do to try to get my RODI to fit on my faucet or am I going to be stuck with now buying RODI water and pre mix salt from an LFS? Also, my I am not very handy, so the easier the better! Any advice/tips?

I would imagine a Tee in the plumbing that feeds the sink wouldn’t be too big of a hassle? But I could be mistaken.

Also, what about the sink in the bathroom?

Do you have a laundry room

The bathroom fixture is worse. The entire fixture would need replaced as it’s a different style entirely

I run mine under the sink with a Tee like this one.

Use an angle stop adapter, or sometimes called an Undersink Shut off Valve. Available here:
Can be removed, or the valve can simply be turned off when you leave.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
