It's also a nice way to avoid liability if there is a fire, water leak, or anything that destroys a public server. The landlord can't be liable for the loss of information on a server hosting hundreds of different companies or tens of thousands of individuals if the presence of that server on the premises was a violation of the lease.
That's one reason people pay hosting companies with the implication that they will have at least some minimum level of care in providing physical security for the servers.
