You have got the exemption only on the collection of the service tax on your taxable services. But the rent you are going to pay is the taxable service of others.

Hence, you are liable to pay the service tax on the rent.

You have to pay the landlord his rent less TDS plus the service tax. the landlord will register and pay the service tax.

If you have taxable services provided to residents, we will have to check if you can claim input against a taxable output. Usually they allow it if it can be corelated to your taxable output.
