If you merely put up a good show, on the other hand, such as listing it for rent at an amount that is significantly higher than market, or not even listing it at all, the IRS will see right through that.Other common sense evidence of intent can be gleaned from a review of the case law (i.e., other people’s mistakes):Don’t have plans drawn up for your principal residence or a vacation home just before or after the exchange.Don’t move into the house right after the exchange, even on a temporary basis.Don’t make the contract to acquire the replacement property contingent upon the sale of your principal residence.Use a reasonable and significant amount of advertising or listings in order to rent the property at a marketable rental amount.Document how you arrived at the asking price of the rent.Don’t start construction on preparing the house for your personal use right after acquiring it.Make sure that the restrictive covenants of the replacement property (or condo documents) allow it to be rented out.Document your efforts to rent the house out including names and contact information for potential tenants who looked at it.

All too often, that ability is considered a mere "privilege," similar to the privilege of an owner to use the community pool or clubhouse, or to park a specific number of cars in a driveway.
