I would put my surveying skills into use, Get someone with proper knowledge to asses the build quality of the floor. If the floor is concrete this shouldnt be a problem, although cracking car occur.

I would still reccomend having the situation checked with someone with proper knowledge. Landlord maybe?

I wouldn't risk it, will be extremly heavy. Wait till you've moved. I dont think I'd even have a 400L upstairs.
