I think Sisko threatened to charge Quark for rent and utilities in one episode as a way to get Quark to do something Sisko wanted.
Quark may be billing Starfleet for his services, but I'm sure he understands how to be in the good graces of his cop landlord.
I'm pretty sure that's the episode where Quark becomes an arms dealer.
Which also has Avery Brooks's creepiest line in the series; the way he says "Works for me!" gives me chills. Serial killer vibes.
Having seen Avery Brooks give panels at cons, I can confidently say that all the times when Sisko got space madness or was holosuite transformed into a Bond villain or was otherwise acting like a madman... all of those performances are the real Avery Brooks, and the stolid, restrained, level-headed Sisko is the character that Avery Brooks uses his formidable acting skills to pretend to be.
It's the strike episode. "Bar Association" Sisko threatens him with charging rent if the strike doesn't end soon.
I think Sisko's threat is to start collecting rent Quark technically always owed but that Sisko had chosen to overlook because of the benefits the bar brings to the promenade, especially in the immediate aftermath of the Cardassian withdrawal.
I believe you are correct.
It was because they'd given him the supplies he needed to restart the bar after the FCA revoked his business license. So they were threatening to take back the equipment and start charging him rent again if he continued to do arms deals on the station.
