Repairskenzel [50 Posts] Hi All, Anyone out of the rat race yet? :) Anyhoo, I got a simple question base on the following points: If one were to repair the broken lock just before the tennant moves in and after I vacate the premise (say between the 12th and 13th month), would one be able to claim a tax deduction on that? I'm sure all landlords have experienced this in one way or another :) Any feedback welcome Tools [320 Posts] If it was me I would be repairing the lock now to secure my premises, and so I wouldn't be forking out for the insurance excess when someone just waltzes in and pinches my gear. I am not an accountant but I would suggect that it would not be a deductible expense until the property has been rented out. Tools Terryw [6654 Posts] How much is a new lock? $200 maybe? Why wait - you may only be saving $40 in potential tax. Terryw |
