Shower Repair/Improvement While Renting Part of Home
Hello,
I started renting 30% of my home on 1/1/2022. On 2/9/22, I had a major shower leak in the master bedroom that I occupied at the time. It leaked into the downstairs common areas (living, dining rooms and kitchen) thus affecting my tenant.
I spent a total of $6,500 on the shower repair which entailed demoing tile, installing a new shower pan, replacing rotted subfloor and joist and retiling. The breakdown was $2000 in materials, $1000 for a Plumber, $500 for a Carpenter, and $3000 for a Tiler.
I moved out of the home on 11/20/22 and started renting the whole property.
Would I depreciate the shower repair? Or can I expense or use the Bonus Depreciation for any of the costs?
How would my usage of the new shower and renting part of my home affect the cost of the shower I can expense or depreciate?
