What to do right now

Check whether the tank is a rental (look for a sticker). If so, the rental company may need to handle it.
For a gas tank, check if the pilot is out. Follow the relighting steps on the label only if you're comfortable.
If the tank is leaking, turn off the cold water valve on top and the gas or power to the heater.
