If his rent/barter payment is sufficient to be considered a fair market value rent, then you can enter the property as one multi-family property instead of needing to separate it into two units. This way you enter the total rent received, including the barter payment value, and you are depreciating the whole property instead of separating it into two properties.
If his rent/barter payment is below the fair market value for rent in your area, then you will need to separate it into two properties.
