Having just graduated college, I'm going to be making my way into the big bad world pretty soon. And who better to accompany me than an absolutely minuscule kitten? Problem is, she's going to be 3 months old when I move and the apartment I'm moving in to doesn't allow pets under 6 months of age. Any tips on fudging her age? Leaving her isn't an option, just look at that little face. 
Just keep an eye out for the next time fake id selling canoes invade the formum?
Perfect plan, you're a genius.
Kittens that are abandoned at 1-2 days old and need to be bottle fed are often much smaller than their counterparts that have access to proper cat milk until 6-8 weeks. They will look several months younger than they are even though their development (ability to use a litter box and such) is about the same.
If it were me, I'd talk a lot about having to hand raise this kitten and how the vet said it should catch up by the time it's a year old.
I lived in an apartment that didn't allow pets at all with my cat for a few years.... Never an issue. They fit in duffel bags for transport in and out of the building 
Id just tell them you have a cat and pay the deposit. No need to have them inspect it or tell them how old it is IMO
I agree that there's no need to inspect it, but they claim to verify the age with vet records. As it is, I just told them she's 6 months old and I hope they won't check.

At first I thought so too, then realized I missed an opportunity to mention something about underage-Bob Costas.

Uhh. Danger, Will Robinson, Danger! 
Don't forget the kitten mittens to keep your neighbors happy!
This guy: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/community/floatingdoc/ is a veterinarian. I think he's even in Florida.
Trade him a years subscription in order for him to write you up a record that the cat is 6 months old.
Pets are allowed but not under 6 months old? That's a bizarre rule.
I think the rule is cause you usually can't get them fixed before 6 months
How's your relationship with your vet? Maybe explain the situation to them and get them to fudge the ID? Agree it's a bizarre and troublesome rule. Leave kitty with a close friend for 3 months?
Sounds like a rule for dogs, not cats.
Cats litter box train very young and don't chew everything they see. Being un-fixed is not an issue until they get older (spraying etc).
My family will be more than happy to house your kitten for 3 months. At the end of the 3 months we may, or may not, return her to you.
Oh no, haha, she's not leaving my sight
I once rented an apartment that allowed cats with an extra deposit. I was OK with that but they also needed to look at the cat. Furthermore they couldn't just come to the apartment to look at her, we had to bring her to the office. So, we had to stuff a very independent, 16lb cat into the carrier and carry her across the parking lot to the office so they could look through the mesh on the carrier and confirm who knows what. The woman who did the looking didn't know what she was looking for either. She just knew that was the rule.

"Eh, doesn't look like a rabid sewer rat to me. We'll allow it."

What are they going to do, cut her tail and count the rings.

I can sell you some fake vet records cheap. Also, you need a passport?

2lbs in florida, at least in lake county. We got a couple of field kittens for free from the sheriff last year, and they made us contract to fix, and hell, they even fixed em for free!
Give them the name of a friend that has a 6 month old kitten, the friend's cat's name, and the friends vet info and tell the apartment folks that you just got the kitty from your friend and haven't gotten the vet records switched yet...
Have you considered a tiny moustache so the kitten looks like a distinguished grown-up cat?
