I'm a hobbyist lockpicker.
As Scald said, try first with your landlady's or perhaps a neighbors key as they might work.
If there's only one row of pins inside then it should be very easy to pick. You'll need a short hook pick and a tension wrench such as these:

You may also want to get a padlock to practice a bit on first. The cheaper the better. Made in China and cheap? The best.
There's a ton of videos on youtube that shows how to pick, but this is the best channel I've found:

e: Make sure to tell your landlady that you're picking the lock. It's probably (depending on your state/country) considered breaking and entering to pick anything you don't explicitly own yourself.
