Sounds as if multiple units are being serviced by only one water heater. If anyone flushes their toliet it steals all the cold water and causes the water to be scalding hot. If someone is washing dishes in their dishwasher kiss your hot water goodbye.

Old pipes have nothing to do with it, it's simply supply and what equipment is giving you the hot water.

How long have you been dealing with this?

Thanks for the reply . It has been happening since I moved in around 8 months ago.

It would be worth trying to get an explanation from your landlord.
