Your landlord's right... 300 gallons of water flooding a house would be a DISASTER!! Thankfully total tank failures are extremely rare. Although they do happen enough that insurance companies take note of them. More likely are aggravating, slow seeping leaks.
Here's a little info on tanks of the size you are talking about:
Length-72.00 in.
Width-24.00 in.
Height-36.00 in.
Wall-thickness-0.79 in.
Volume-269.30 gal (US)
Tank Material Weight-661.02 lb
Water Volume-259.81 gal (US)
Water Weight-2161.96 lb
Substrate-Small Diameter Rocks
Average Substrate Depth 2 in.
Substrate Weight-184.06 lb
Approximate Total Weight-3007.04 lb
Check the structure of the floor you are going to put the tank on. You may need to take that into account.
