    Why did rent exist at all? I’m not well acquainted with economics, so this might make one shake their head in disappointment; but, why not just lower it to 0% when it was already at such a low percentage?

      As someone else pointed out, sharing the costs of maintenance with everyone else in the building. I think it’s actually a misnomer to call it rent.
