Hi,

I am from Bangalore and live in a rented house.

I am planning to apply for sole proprietorship to sell products on Amazon.

For this I would require GST number and to obtain that I will have to submit Rental Agreement and NOC from owner that they do not have any issue.

The business does not involve any manufacturing, or usage of electricity, water or gas etc. it’s basically I import items such as fashion jewelry, store them in a cupboard and sell at Amazon.

But my landlord is worried that it can attract fine for him for allowing me to do business on a residential property.

Are there any rules that can cause issues for Landlord for allowing a tenant to do Sole proprietorship business where it’s basically store and sell online of products that are not restricted goods but simple items like jewelry?
