If your property is used solely for residential purpose or non-commercial purposes then you do not need to pay any service tax.
The budget 2009-10 proposed the collection of the tax with retrospective i.e. from 01.06.2007 on renting of immovable property for commercial purposes. But this has been stayed by the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
