co-op to condo attorney fee

Dear Experts,

 

I have a rental unit in an multi-unit apartment building, last year it tried to convert from co-op to condo status, each owner needed to pay $$$$ to the lawyer to start the process. 

 

My question is, is the fee paid to the lawyer tax deductible? Can I deduct as expense (legal) from my rental income?

 

Thanks for the advice

Dave
