I agree. Bikes aren't so bad inside and it saves parking spots for customers. You could compromise and tell him you won't bring it in when it rains--that might be his concern (bringing in a dirty wet bike).
But think about a real good spot first. Some building managers cite entry/exit issues. I've been told to keep mine out of hallways and stairwells. They need to be able to evacuate the building quickly and get a guerney into it without issue. Even in an office can be a problem in some cases--get it in a corner or cubbyhole.
