RENTAL UNIT

I have a rental unit (singlewide) on its own property ... I do all repairs myself.

I maintain the yard (1.5 acres), repair, service and purchase parts for everything pertaining to the rental.  Under what category  do I claim the replacement parts to repair, maintain, service mowers or everything else inside the rental ... for example:  plumbing, electrical, general repairs? Do mower parts fall under "Maintenance ... Repair ... or  Supply?"

I do not hire out any of the repairs/service etc. (Re Tax Year 2018) ... Look forward to your help!

there is no right answer.  you could use repairs,  supplies or create your own category repair parts. or something else
