Home Office deduction on Schedule E

I have some rental properties that I self manage (this is a business for me). I meet all the qualifications for availing an Home Office deduction. All my rental income and expenses are declared on schedule E.  Since I do not file Schedule C (and hence form 8829 does not come into play), where should I place my Home  Office expense? Should this be in "Other Expenses on Schedule E"? Do I need to break out all the different home office expense items (i.e. %of home used, utils, depreciation, property taxes etc?)
