Renewing a lease contract for a gambling outlet

Q: If I'm in charge of property and among about 50 shops I have to do renewal of leases. One shop is a gambling shop. Is it permissible for me to sign up or redraft a renewal lease?

A: You should avoid doing the lease for such a tenant.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
