In total, it was a $350 project that could definitely have been done for cheaper, but I wanted to design it in a way that made it as painless as possible to turn my cardboard into mushrooms.
Also, I have an old space heater/fan combo that I intend to use when the temperature starts to drop. I plan to automate it with one of the Sonoff Wifi switches and control it with the Sonoff temp sensor.
Someone else mentioned a zigbee sensor with the Echo Show. I do this (but I only have one). My sensor is actually one of the Lowe's Iris Motion Detectors that I think are discontinued now, but it does motion and temperature. You need something that does zigbee though for my sensor, but I think the sensor cost me like $10 when I bought it.
Another thing you could try is to get an arduino board of some sort and have it report the temperature. For example, I have a LaunchPad XL that can report a temperature of the board. I set it up to report the temperature, and then I smooth it out by taking the average over the past 5 minutes since it isn't very accurate. It works over WiFi but has to be plugged in all the time. I also have a Grove board with a temperature sensor that I haven't set up yet. You could use a raspberry pi or other boards as well. There are a lot of straightforward tutorials available.
Another option you could try is to get an alexa compatible smart thermostat but not connect it to your HVAC. It may still be able to report the temperature and would avoid upsetting your landlord.
Another option is something like the Sonoff TH16 Wifi temperature and humidity sensor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075FSHKQ5. It is pretty reasonably priced and is said to work with Alexa out of the box.
Will this do?

I thought it would just plug into the wall and work. It does not. I don’t know what other thing I need to order.
So I would need this

don't have one but it looks like this will do the job:
