I've had nothing but good experiences with landlords. I hear nothing but awful things about the ones in big cities. I suppose that's why I like living in a mid-size city that's literally known for having the "best of both worlds."

Talk to your landlord about getting a working doorbell. Explain to him the problems you're having and, based on how you describe him, he'll look into it. The chute probably isn't a workable idea if you can't envision it - it depends on how much space you have around the door. Old houses like yours that I've been in have varying degrees of space (there's a crap ton of them around here). It'd simply be slide it down and it'd go through a screen (like a doggie door) and be shielded from porch pirates. Wouldn't work for oversized things, of course.
