It really depends if the cabling was done properly to the data cable port. Pull the cover off and see if there are 8 wires attached and try to figure out where the cable goes -- often the cables just dead end somewhere, and you can help determine that with an inexpensive cable tester.

But as a renter the most reliable approach would be to buy a pair of AV2-1000/1200 powerline adapters like one of THESE.
