My question is, can I deduct ALL maintenance, etc. expenses for the property for the year 2019,
No. You can only claim as rental expenses those costs incurred up to the date the last tenant moved out, or the date you stopped advertising the property for rent - whichever date is last.
That is simply misleading. Rental expenses can be deducted provided the property is held out and available for rent; it is not necessary that the property be continuously "advertised" in any manner.
