Kindly clarify the amounts and nature of services alongwith type of invoices you get (consolidated or separately), whether you are in individual or firm or company?
TDS may be deducted for repair and maintenance if it comes under a contract u/s194C, provided a separate invoice is issued and threshold limit has been crossed.

As per the definition of Rent, any amount paid in tenancy by whatever name called is Rent. So here as you said, your Repairs amount is fixed so it is nothing but Rent. So as per my opinion, TDS on both Rent and Repairs should be deducted under section 194I.
