Landlord proactively warned us that the oven, stove, the bathroom heater and hot water are on one circuit and to avoid using them all together.

Seems that the circuit breaker is too small for the load, which I believe is against regs. I would check with an electrician that might point you to the right standards.

It does not seem right at all!

Yeah :( and the kicker here is, using those four things together would cause breaker for the whole apartment itself to trip lol.

It doesn't make much sense to me.
