I am wondering if the apartment complex would allow you to cover the existing tub with another fiberglass bathfitter model that is smooth. It goes over the existing tub with no demo needed but I don't think it can be removed. I don't know about the cost either. Just an idea -

There are also sticking suction cups that use strong waterproof adhesives but here again would it hold such an important device?????? Or other underwater adhesives that could be applied but again would it hold??? Plus removal may get complicated down the road.
Since this is rental housing, you may have to consult the owner/manager to see what they will or will not allow. Otherwise there are only bars that can be attached to the side of the tub which are strong but removable but may not served your mom's needs with the lift.
That is one of the down falls of these lifts - the surface to which they have to adhere - real important for safety.
