As a landlord, I'd say it's reasonable to expect a door to open more than halfway, and that it's your landlord's responsibility to repair it. Obviously planing the bottom of the door didn't cut it. Your next step is to send the landlord a letter to lay out your concerns in a way he can't dismiss. Tell him exactly what you said here--that the door can be lifted because the hinges are loose, that his repair was not satisfactory, and that if he doesn't rehang the door within a reasonable amount of time, you intend to have the work done yourself and send him a bill.

If you like, clean the bottom of the door first, so he can't say you didn't do it. I doubt it'll do a thing unless the floor is really, really dirty--is your floor really, really dirty?

Alternatively, if you're good at that kind of thing yourself, maybe this is the solution you're looking for? I just googled "rehang sagging door" and this is the first thing that came up:

It isn't dirty at all! He just said there was dirt on the bottom of the door when he sanded it down last time.

Well, I think of myself as a person who keeps a clean house, but I'd never think to clean the bottom edge of a door. Of course over the lifetime of the apartment, it's bound to pick up some gunk.

The toothpick thing might be your best bet. It is really your landlord's responsibility to fix the door, but with some landlords, getting them to cough up the cost is like nailing Jello to a tree.
