This leaves the big question: how to involve the 4th element without it touching the couch?

Get the floor wet before the movers arrive (to make it slippery), then take a garden hose at full blast to the couch.
What fun! Mark loses his $1000, his couch, and his apartment, while John can use the $1000 towards his bail after he is arrested for malicious vandalism.

it could come with wheels and a dog lives there so you order you, obviously superman like puppy, to push the couch
you can dig a hole in the foundation of the building somehow and the couch will slide down

i think, even though im not as outside of the box as Icarus and he has guessed the correct answer yet, that he puts a lighter next to the alarm system above him and it's old fashioned with the sprinkler system on the ceiling, gets the floor wet along with everything else, and over time the water causes the couch to float?
either that or it has wheels and the water over just a little period of time would cause the couch to roll?

Icarus, you are real close. Hell, you have practically solved it, but why going around the bush? Yes, it matters what kind of a floor it is, and a part of your answer is correct, so.................

OK, maybe there is a carpet. Make it wet. Leave the window open. Let's assume it is winter. The water will freeze and increase in volume lifting the couch a tiny little bit. 
Or maybe Mark's appartment is an Igloo. Buy a gazoline-hungry SUV.
Or it is one of these boat houses. Just cut the rope.

You are definitely close, but I said that the room is empty, and this excludes carpet also. As for the lifting the couch a tiny little bit, sure, but it can be lifted more than that, I mean, it is plaus ÿÿÿðE-ñw7Ç`

That is right. You flood the floor with water, then dry it with towels. After they put the couch down, the floor expands lifting the couch.
