Wipe-on polyurethane will probably be your best option as it doesn't yellow with age. However, given the apartment aspect, poly may be a bit smelly. I usually advocate for mixing up DIY wipe-on (50/50 mineral turps/poly) but even with low-odour turps, it may be a bit much in an apartment.
FWIW, Tru Oil isn't too odoriferous and not as hard on the nose as poly IMO, but furthermore, I don't find the slight amber hue objectionable even after some time.
Somewhere on the forum someone (can't recall who) posted pics if Tru Oil finished guitars new & old, and the difference was less remarkable than I expected. I'll see if I can find it, but initial searches were bust.
Anyway, below is one of my alder strats (non-PBG) that is shown with a Tru Oil only finish done in 2017. The photo was shot in 2019. Very little difference after two years.
OK, I've edited to add the original 2017 photo. Different angle, different lighting etc, but I can attest that IRL, there's only a hint of colour difference.
