Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the applicability of GST on rent for commercial properties, specifically when a registered entity uses an unregistered landlord's property for a guesthouse or hotel. The consensus is that Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) does not apply here. Instead, the landlord, as the supplier of service, is liable to pay GST under the forward charge mechanism, provided their turnover necessitates GST registration.

no RCM  applicable for receiver of service, as property in question is commercial,

forward charge will be applicable and supplier of service(landlord of proerty) to pay gst under forward mechanism, if he is liable to take regsitration i.e supply of services is above 20lacs.

The very definition of rcm denies the applicability of rcm on commercial property.
