You're right as little as is better, I'll amend.

If you took depreciation expense on your returns other than what was allowed, you should amend your return or simply file a 3115, change in accounting method, to establish your depreciation method as your own and adjust your basis by the amount of depreciation that which you actually took.

Talk to a tax professional...you can amend your filings back 3 years.

If so, I will be amending my lease to add it.

In August 1999, TREC amended Section 535.20 of the TREC rules to provide that for purposes of that section, the term "valuable consideration" includes, but is not limited to: 1) money; 2) gifts of merchandise having a retail value greater than $50; 3) rent bonuses; and 4) discounts.

(This would probably require an amendment to the MTM lease, and might piss off the tenant.)Option #2:  Allow the tenant to provide access via the combination lock, with all of the liability  and "potential for nonsense"  (theft/vandalism/whatever) that it would expose me to.  

If you already have a lease in place that doesn't clearly outlines you'll be paying for certain utilities, you're stuck for now but can amend the next lease to remove that from your list of responsibilities and add it to theirs.

And it should allow you the opportunity to either amend or cancel your agreement with all earnest money returned to you based on your findings with your inspection.  

I did mean FHAA, Fair Housing Amendment Act of 1988.

Make sure when you amend the lease that you include the tenant needs to care for both appliances (ie clean the lint trap after each load) and use appropriate detergents.
