I was under the impression that Kisuke's shop is where it is in order to stay
out of the eyes of the Soul Society. Yet during the start of Season 4, Renji
is "mooching" off the Urahara Shop, and it doesn't seem like Renji was in need
to help at any time which would lead to Kisuke offering help, unlike with
Rukia where it was shown that after she lost her powers she was approached by
Kisuke.

So I am wondering if the Soul Society knew that Kisuke was set up in Karakura
Town and thus directed Renji to seek his aid. If not, then how did Renji end
up there?

Does the Soul Society know exactly where Kisuke Urahara is?


The simple answer? Yes. However, the arc you are speaking of does not exist in
canon. It was a filler arc.

Now, to expand upon the actual answer to your question. The Gotei 13 does know
where he is, in-fact, they even know where his shop is. The reason they don't
arrest or execute him is because he is still a useful asset to them. Now, if
he was useless or ended up causing too much trouble, they would likely dispose
of him, especially after he helped Ichigo and the others to gain entrance into
the Seretei (sorry if I misspelled that).
