We are discussing legalities, the definitions of "Rent", "Lease" and "License" have very different meanings under the law.
The fact of the matter is this... If a publicly owned building or property (owned by city, county, town, etc.) is prohibited from making and enforcing certian rules regarding firearms per state law and they then rent or lease said building or property to a private party for an hour, day, week, month, etc... How do they have the right to allow the private party to make such rules? It's like saying "The law says we aren't allowed to do this, but we will let you have temporary control of this building/land to do with as you so choose and make whatever rules you so choose."
Last I checked, such property was built and paid for by public funds such as tax money. So telling the public that they don't have the rights protected by the constitution on/in said property is illegal even if done by a third party right? What would happen if the private party renting/leasing said party were to say "Sorry, but only white males are allowed here." What's the difference from that and telling somebody they are not allowed to possess a lawfully owned firearm when state law says otherwise?
