will 2020 repairs carry forward to 2021 rental year?

I had a10 month vacant house during COVID.  It took forever to do repairs to rent for 2021. The repairs done in 2020 was to prep for rent in 2021. Prior to 2019 + 2 mo in 2020, I rented but it got really messed up by prior tenants.  for  2020 was only rented for  Jan and FEB.  I tried to rent earlier but could not.

 

I can't remember, but will the repairs made in 2020 roll over or carry forward to cover 2021 rental income? Or should I claim the repairs in 2021 to make sure?  I can't remember.  Thanks for any help.
