The answer

If the owner knows that the tenant will sell prohibited items, then he is not permitted to rent out the premises unless it is stipulated that no prohibited items shall be sold, based on the words of the Almighty: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression." If the owner was not aware of this at the time of the contract, then the rental agreement is valid. However, if the contract term ends, it is not permissible to renew the rental agreement unless it is stipulated that the selling of prohibited items must be refrained from.
