If you are reporting this as a rental on schedule E, you should have reported the expenses last year, 2022.
Because rental income is passive income, the loss would not have been allowed, but would be a carry-forward for 2023.
This carry-forward loss would offset the additional income you finally received in 2023.
If you didn't do it this way, amend 2022, claim the expenses and get the carryover loss.
