    The most likely culprit is that there's a blockage in the flange, but it could also be that the water level is set too low in the tank because your landlord is a cheap bastard. Check inside the tank, if the water level is below where the line is (there's usually a water line stain in the tank) then the issue is water level, if not it's a blocked flange or drain. If it's the former, the flushing hardware will need replaced, the latter and all you need is a plunger.

      If it's the water level there might be a simple fix by removing a brick or something in the tank that was put there to reduce the water amount that is in the tank, or by unbending a metal rod that holds the float.

        https://youtu.be/Pvj9QJDy1MQ It's probably one of the simplest home repairs you can do.

    Make your landlord fix it. You just moved in, now is the time to get shit fixed cause they can't blame you for it

    until you can get your landlord to fix it, you should be able to get it to flush by filling a large bucket with water and dumping it in the bowl quickly

    Is the top bowl filling to the correct level?

    Is anything clogged?

      Flush the toilet for sure. Also check the faucets and how hot the water gets. A weak toilet and lukewarm showers are a major shitty thing when it's every day.

        Keep complaining until they send a plumber, then talk the plumber into making them actually fix the problem. Outside contractor being firm they need to do it usually makes landlords fold.
