You might be able to tell if you have breakers or fuses by how loudly the landlord swears. Resetting a breaker is easy: just flip the switch back. Replacing a fuse is worse because you have to have a spare fuse and buy some more when you run low.
You can get breakers shaped like a fuse, with a reset button in the middle, to replace actual fuses. This could reduce the swearing if it's a fuse box. I don't know if the electrical code actually allows these things but it may. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/leviton-mini-push-button-fuse-breaker-120... -- Scott
