In my opinion , service tax will not be applicable on above since here property is let out by A to B i.e. A is providing service to B . B himself is not using the property might be the issue in your mind. In exemption the exemption is for Use as Residence.The other aspect that need to be examined is the period of stay? If the period of stay is temporary like in hotels ,Guest house
etc then service tax will be applicable.
