Service Tax has to be paid to the Government either by you or the owner. Who will have to pay depends upon the agreement between the tenant and the owner.

You have to pay the tax until and unless the agreement is otherwise.

A revisit to the terms and conditions of the lease agreement will explain the situation and provide an answer to this.
