co-op to condo attorney fee

[davoti2]

Dear Experts,

I have a rental unit in an multi-unit apartment building, last year it tried to convert from co-op to condo status, each owner needed to pay $$$$ to the lawyer to start the process. 

My question is, is the fee paid to the lawyer tax deductible? Can I deduct as expense (legal) from my rental income?

Thanks for the advice

Yes, most likely it would be deductible as an expense that is necessary and ordinary as it relates to your rental activity.
