1 & 2. GST shall be applicable if the rent exceeds Rs. 20 lakhs in the year. The owner shall be liable for registration and payment of GST thereon.

3. It depends on how the relationship with directors has been maintained. In case it is an employer employee relationship, and TDS is deducted for salary, no GST shall be applicable. Or else, GST shall be applicable.

4. This would again be based on the relationship and TDS provisions followed.
