Camden,
    It is possible to buy a snap-lock adaptor--one part  screws on to your 
kitchen faucet and the other to a regular garden hose connecter. The part on 
the faucet stays put till you need to take it off for inspection.  The other 
part stays with your hose which you connect to whatever washing device you 
use. Snap on snap off is easy.  If you can't find one locally, google 
WILLIAMS BREWING.
   Alternatively, you can get a rubber hose with a flared fitting on it 
which will awkwardly fit over a bathtub faucet.
   I don't know where you live, but it is almost certainly illegal for your 
landlord to come in unanounced.
