For many years, we had a $1.00/year roof top site (highest bldg. in the city) until years later when the bldg. management of the top floors changed and we were asked to vacate. Like a previous poster said, you could be paying next to nothing and a next door commercial neighbor is paying big bucks for the same location. That is probably why we got the boot. Our space could make many bucks a year. It's usually boils down to economics. Also, some hams are paying customers on the commercial side and get a "free" ride for their ham repeater(s). This is pretty common.
