I have an old house with *huge* gaps under the interior doors, and I've
had very good luck with simply taking some thin, wooden finishing strips
(the kind that are placed along the bottom of the wall, near the floor,
generally about 1/4" thick & about 3" high).  Simply saw a piece as long
as the door is wide, and nail it to the bottom of the door with finishing
nails.  Your landlord will never notice.
 
For smaller gaps, you can also use standard weatherstripping.  It comes in
kits at any hardware store, and includes a metal strip for nailing to the
door, and a plastic strip that sweeps along the floor to keep out drafts.
My ferrets have never gone after the plastic.
