Still have hot water? Maybe you can wrap a thin towel around a warm bottle as a heat source.

The Landlord probably is not paying the mortgage either. At leas for now since the light bill is in the landlords name. I would call the eletricity company and tell them you just moved in and want to connect the light. The money that is owed goes on the landlords name so he/she is responsible for it.
