That would very much be up to the property owner/manager to set a price on, every case can be different - even in the same property where a second tenant wants an install after one has been done for $0 - it can come down to how they feel on the day or the standing relationship between the tenant and the property owner/manager . it is entirely possible that if they are getting frequent requests of this type that they may deem it an administrative cost from their point of view, If they want you to pay, then you either pay or seek an alternate solution that doesn't involve roof installation :)

Kind Regards,
