I'd ask the landlord exactly what the problem is. If I invited 10 of my friends to my house, they would collectively weigh a ton. Is the floor going to collapse under them?
As a landlord, the weight is an issue and the potential damage from a leaking waterbed. A waterbed can weigh up to 2000 pounds. That's alot of weight on one spot. All of my properties have hardwood floors. Some are 2 story. That much weight in one spot on a second floor is dangerous, for the building and the tenant. The potential cost for water damage is not calculable.
The piano, I don't understand, except I would put in the lease that floor protectors be put under the feet.
I do have older restored house and apartments, so it is up to me to make sure that items in the apartments or houses do not cause damage.
