09 August 2013 From your query it is learnt that you are a service provider and you are also paying ST on rent. Ok.
If the owner of the building is registered under Service Tax provisions and issues a valid bill showing the ST element, you can avail the input aslong as such input is in relation to your output service as per Rule 2(1) of the CENVAT Rules, 2004.
