Hello dear community,
A friend of mine has found an apartment. The building might date back to the 1970s. The apartment is located in the attic.
However, the apartment was handed over without a finished floor. Inside, there is only this red stone floor. It is quite dusty. When it gets wet, it stains heavily and takes longer to dry. What kind of floor is this? Is it screed? The floor is not dangerous, is it?
My friend has considered leaving the floor as is for the look and using rugs on top. How could the floor be treated easily and cost-effectively so that it doesn’t stain as much? Preferably something non-destructive since it is not a condominium.
Kind regards and many thanks!

Has anyone here had experience with something like this? How much sample do I need to take?

Of course, it’s quite unwise if you don’t know what kind of subfloor is actually there. But rental apartments are in short supply in many places, so you take what you get... usually under the terms the landlord sets.
