Both your sink and toilet will join to the sewer out-flow pipe; if both of them are backing up then your blockage is lower then the point where both join up. You're going to need a long snake wire... in the basement there will be a screw cap access to the sewer out-flow pipe, open it (will require a pipe wrench), feed the snake up the out-flow pipe until you meet resistance (blockage), turn the snake to break-up the blockage (you will know you have done this when you hear the sewage drain down the pipe past the access... some may come out... you'll want to clean it up), once the block is gone put the screw cap back on. If you don't find the block going up then try going down; however, if the block is lower then the access pipe then there is a pretty good chance that the problem is tree/plant roots have broken through the pipe... if this is the case then you'll need a roto-rooter service to break them up; however, this should be your landlord's responsibility as such an occurrence could not possibly be your fault.
