The answer

Renting out a shop with its decorations and equipment is permissible in principle. However, it is problematic due to its contravention of the regulations set forth by the ruler (wali al-amr) for the benefit of the country and its people. The ruler is permitted to restrict the permissible for a public interest, so these regulations should not be violated as long as they serve the country's benefit.
