domain for lease

Determining the value of a domain name for lease.
A guy I know owns a domain name that a company is interested in using. He doesn't want to sell it to them, but he wants to rent it to them. As far as I know, the domain has never been developed and currently receives no traffic. The domain name is not a common dictionary word, but associated with some sort of public works project in a large US city. Once the site is developed, I can't imagine the domain will draw huge amounts of traffic. The organization that wants to use the domain name is for-profit. So how does he come up with a value, aside from 'as much as he can get them to pay?'

It sounds like it would be 'found money' to lease the domain name vs. letting it sit idle.
How about earning enough money to order a (insert favorite topping here) pizza once a month from the lease payment?
I don't know how much pizzas go for in your area of the country, but it seems like a good start.
/mmm, pizza.

Go with a sliding scale. First-year, see what happens. Second year, adjust rates accordingly.
