It looks like the pressure could be your problem

You should have a filling loop to fill the system to about 1 bar cold
It's normally a braded hose with one/ two taps

sorry, i aint got a clue what your telling me? if there is no obvious solution, should i just contact my landlord?
 
Yes contact your landlord if your not in a hurry, or

If you look under the boiler you may see a silver hose, this will have a turn tap at one or both ends,

Open this or these until the gauge reads one bar instead of .5

Sometimes the filling loop is s part of the boiler underneath and their may be two taps ( same as above)

Or you may find a filling loop In a cupboard below the boiler or somewhere else on the system

I dont think the hot water would work if the pressure was the problem, get your landlord to show you how the boiler works and sort out the problem.
