I noticed last time I renewed my tenants' leases (MA) that there's a new clause in the BP-provided form about cannabis usage, with some really draconian-sounding restrictions on it (text below).

When you own rental property you will have to report the rental income using Tax Form 1040 - Schedule E. 

If you just got this unit, sometimes the electric utility can tell you what the usage was like in past summers.

One of the main house bedrooms had its own entrance/exit and was previously used to as a single room Airbnb (unit E).

Schedule E shows $52k in losses for 6 properties.

@Miguel Vargas If you check on the property appraiser website for the county it should be able to give you the zoning and land usage for the lot.
