The answer

It is not permissible to contract for the rent of a shop to fluctuate between a known amount and a percentage of sales, due to the uncertainty of the rent. This falls under the prohibition of "two transactions in one." This contract must be annulled, and the landlord is entitled to a fair market rent for the period that has passed. It is not permissible to lie as requested by the employer.
