My landlord has just installed a device that cuts hot water supply after 3 min of using hot water.
I open the hot water tap and after 3min then water out of the tap run out meaning Nothing comes out then after 12min there is hot water again and the cycle continues. There is nothing wrong with the cold water tap. There is no timer in the cold water only the hot water.
What is the device called that he used and how do we remove it.

The device is probably something like a hot water timer (but installed upstream, in the mechanical room), which comprises a timer mechanism and a shutoff or diverter valve.
As to how you'd disable it, you'd have to find out the model of the device. Chances are it can be disabled via its controls. Otherwise it would need to be removed and the pipe spliced.
