Have you tried CLR for the hardwarer buildup?
We have had to use OVEN CLEANER on some at our apartments. It worked good. Follow all direction on the can; I spray it on real thick, then leave (due to the fumes) and let it work overnight.
Try the Works form the dollar store. It cleans everything! It’s actually a toilet bowl cleaner.
The surface may be ruined before you.
Use Easy Off No Fume Oven Cleaner in the BLUE can.
Have you spoke with the owner or management company? That problem should have been taken care of before you even moved into the rental. Take pictures of it so that you have evidence of the condition of the tub when you moved in so it can't fall back on you. I would see if maybe they have something that will do the trick. I have used Muriatic acid on a really bad porcelain tub, don't know if you can use it on the fiberglass or plastic type. That calls for lots of protection (it is a strong acid), especially having excellent air flow with a fan to blow the fumes out the window, you need to cover your mouth and nose with a thick folded towel (fumes hard on the lungs). On a bad toilet I just use a toilet brush and it doesn't affect the brush at all. Nasty stuff, but it does work!
