Help Doesn't an electric range require a separate breaker switch? [View all]

Apartment in big home, previous troubles because landlord uses his son for repairs and remodeling.

Had troubles two years ago because there was no trip switch on the circuit that serves the kitchen, and the oven shorted out.

Now there's a problem again with a hot wire in the same oven -- and I realize that the stove is not on a separate breaker switch from the outlets in that and other rooms.

Is something very, very wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any answer to my question. Repairman is coming this week NOT THE LANDLORD'S SON....

EEK.
