landlords whose rental receipts are above Rs 10 lakh will be required to pay service tax only after crossing receipts of Rs 10 Lakh..
Present rules, however, exempt renting of immovable property to educational institutions from service tax. Renting of residential property, regardless of the rental amount, is also exempt from service tax.
"taxable service" means any service provided or to be provided to any person, by any other person in relation to renting of immovable property for use in the course or furtherance of business or commerce.
TDS will be deducted {U/S 194-I} on the amount including service tax..

While the liability to pay service tax lies with the service provider, he/she/it shall charge service tax
to the service receiver.
Assuming that the landlord is liable to service tax, he would be within his powers to claim service tax from you, unless the there is a clause exempting from you from such a liability.
With regards to TDS, you have to now deduct TDS in the following manner:
Rent: Rs 100
Serv tax: Rs 12.36
Total : Rs 112.36
TDS: @ 10% R. 11.24
Net payment Rs 101.12
to the service receiver.
