You then apportion your other building expenses and report those on the Schedule E as well.Here are the expenses you'll want to consider:Mortgage InterestProperty TaxInsuranceWater/Gas/Electric/Sewer/Garbage Removal/Lawn Maintenance/Pool Maintenance (presuming your tenant is allowed to use the lawn and pool)Repairs to the property as a whole (ie, roof, plumbing, electrical repairs)Repairs specifically to the space you are rentingDepreciationYou then measure the room you've rented and compare it to the livable square footage of the house.So let's say you're renting a 300 square foot space, your bedroom is 500 square feet and you share the kitchen, bathroom and living areas and those common areas add up to 1000 square feet.So your rented space is 300 + (1000/2) for an effective square footage of 800 square feet rented.You then take the above mentioned expenses and multiply each one by (800/1800) and you claim that amount of expense.The only exception is repairs specifically to the rented area.

Max Briggs My First Lease - Borderline Tenant - Would you have done the same
28 June 2017 | 9 replies
I put roughly 13k into it removing wall paper, wood paneling, replacing a drop ceiling in the kitchen with a dry wall ceiling, refinishing hardwoods, adding lighting, and updating some plumbing.$1100 in rent for a 60k property might sound great, but property taxes on the house are roughly $300/month, so its not as lucrative as it might sound, plus the 13k rehab out of pocket is more than my down payment so it cuts my ROI in half.
