You deduct this expense where you deduct your other rental expenses.  Schedule E or Schedule C as a "Other Deduction".  You can account for it as a landlord.  As a rental it is a personal expenditure and not tax deductible.

 

Generally, you claim expenses related to rental property on Schedule E and attach it to your individual income tax return. However, if you own the condo via a corporation, then you would fill out an IRS Form 1162 or 1162 S, which are tax returns for C corporations and S corporations, respectively.
