Termite treatment would be a maintenance expenses. Whereas any work done to repair damage caused by termites would be a repair expense. Repairs done in that space exclusive to the tenant would be 100% deductible. Repairs done elsewhere on/in the property would not be deductible at all.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 02 Oct 2022 21:25:16 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-tax-deduction-for-pest-control-room-rental/01/2777411#M1005993 Carl 2022-10-02T21:25:16Z
