Is it safe to put a 4'x5' object weighing 1000lbs in my bedroom of my second floor apartment?

I've been researching a lot, but I still don't feel like I have a clear grasp of it. I want to get a 4'x5', 1000lb vocal booth (well, the booth is 850lbs, and then with me in it, it's 1000lbs total) to put in my 100 sq. ft. bedroom. Assuming my building is built to code, the load capacity of my bedroom should be 30lbs per sq. ft..so that's 3000lbs of load capacity for my room. Through my research, some people have said that "30lbs per sq. ft." doesn't necessarily mean that I can ONLY put 30lbs on each sq. ft. I'm having trouble understanding this though.

A square foot times by 9 is a square yard times that by 30 lbs so a box of 1 yard must not be heavier than 270 lb 4x5 = 20  so 600lb is yor limit and the 1000lb is too heavy and may cause a collapse if the floor is brand new if its aged its dangerous you see its concentrated in the one spot not spreading the weight over the whole floor

I used to know some very nice people who literally moved out in the night because something heavy they put in their rental house caused extensive structural damage--the room addition in which they placed their queen-sized waterbed literally separated from the rest of the building, showing sky above and ground below, and tilted at a noticeable angle, too. And even though I believe in personal responsibility, I kind of understand. I worked with the woman, and the repair would have cost her six months of earnings at a minimum.

They were putting about 1500 pounds on an area of 4800 square inches (the bed's footprint being 60 x 80 inches). At 1000 pounds, your booth weighs about two-thirds as much, but you will be putting its entire weight over a smaller area of 2880 square inches.

I absolutely would not do it without written permission from the landlord or property management company.

Joists/trusses are designated on load per foot basis, so spaced 16" is 1.33 x 10 foot length room x 30 lbs/sf = 400 lb per joist.

The short side of booth measures 4 ft, covers 3 joists, 400 x 3 = 1200 lbs across the full span of the room.

If it was only 30 pounds on any one square foot, you wouldn't be able to stand anywhere.

Re-imagine your question. Could your room handle four fat people standing on a shipping pallet?
