Investors & landlords

The fireplace repair and the faucet repair are personal expenses and not deductible since you were still living in the property at the time.  If they had been done after you moved and made the property available for rent, then they would be deductible as a rental expense.

 

The cost of the cleaner is a deductible rental expense since it was done after you made the property available for rent.

 

The cost of the water heater should be added to the basis of the home since it was replaced prior to the property becoming a rental property.
