Thank you, CatinaT1 - I knew about the rule 'no matter when you receive it'. BUT, I have not actually received the pre-paid rent, as it is held by the property management company until the next month, i.e. Jan 2025. Then it will be counted again as rent income for me for tax year 2025, as that is the time I will actually receive the money.
That's the dilemma.
