As per Rule 2(L) of CENVAT Credit Rules,2004 input service, inter alia, means any services used by provider of taxable service for providing an output service and includes, inter alia, auditing, accounting & legal services......
In ur case output service is renting of immovable property and input service is auditing and legal services.
Thus legal services and auditing are expressively covered under the definition of input services and accordingly you can take cenvat credit in respect of service tax paid on legal and auditing services.
