Hi
Are check the inlet pipe whether it have any hole, check the nob also. If water coming from a random place on the body of the heater, then you might have a bigger problem. After checking the pipe you are facing the same problem you will call the plumber immediately.

Lol you really should insist that your landlord enlists the services of a professional plumber. I take my van to a mechanic when it goes wrong.

Water heating ordinarily accounts for about twenty percent of home energy costs, which is second only to general heating. To minimize the cost of hot water, reduce the temperature of your hot water heater from the standard 140 degrees F to 120 degrees F.
