There's nothing special to it. You can get a L5-30R connector, a 5-15P connector, and some 14-3 wire and make it in 5 minutes. Or just the L5-30R and cut/strip the end off an appropriately heavy duty extension cord if you already have that.
Note that standard residential is NEMA 5-15P, not L5-15P which is the locking version.
If it's a 4-plug dryer outlet then yes. You need one of the hot legs, a neutral, and a ground. You could make an adapter plug by hand by easily going to Lowes or whatever you have near and buying a 4 wire dryer plug/cord and the L5-30 twist lock plug. You'd pick a hot wire and use it and cap the other and secure it somehow.
Would I recommend doing it? No... especially if something goes south. The landlord and other tenants would basically own your ass.
EDIT: Actually found one right here: https://www.cables.com/Products/1430P-L530R-1.aspxYou are Looking for a NEMA 14-30 to L5-30 adapterI wouldn't trust that link, might be two hots and a neutral (240v), but no ground on the L5-30R end, specifications doesn't say. Another reason why things may be possible, but you shouldn't do them.
Have you asked your landlord about paying to have an outlet installed? Some don't care if you cough up the $$$ and use a legit electrician.
