Tax deduction for residential with business use

[EddieHJJ]

Hi everyone,

Wonder if someone comes across this and can give some advice:

I have a residential tenant who uses part of the property (garage) as a storage space for their material and gear for their private business.

So my questions are:

1. Can I consider the interest

The quote below is from the RTA interpretation section. (Definition of the words and phrases used in the Act.) My guess was that it related to the executor of a Will. Until I read the next clause which nullified that notion.

I used search but couldn't find much.

I want to do a 90 day tenancy, but it seems that if the tenant doesn't move out on day 90 it becomes a normal tenancy. How do you avoid this trap? How do you guarantee that the tenants are out on day 90?

Hi all, first time posting.

Do any landlords have experiences with bordercollies, I am fine with a small dog or cat but unsure about 2 medium sized dogs in a small section, do any of you guys have experience with tenants with dogs please?

Thank you

Hello
We are building an attached self contained granny flat for my mother. In our area we are allowed to build a 60sqm second dwelling and I'd like to build a detached second dwelling as a rental. The council are saying that my mother's granny flat counts as the second dwelling because it has...

I wonder what kind of issues could be here.
My tenant wants to build a sleep out with the current little wooden shed that needs fixing anyway.
I think the shed is included in the original building consent.
She said there is no need to get the consent for the sleep out and sent me info....

Am I right to assume that the only way to have any say on reasonably ending a tenancy is to either 1-Keep doing fixed term (by agreement) or 2- end the fixed term at the end of the term (if there is no agreement for another fixed term) and look for another tenant who is in agreement for a new fixed...

Recent articles HERE and HERE point to:

1. Landlords evicting tenants amid nerves about the upcoming ban on no-cause evictions.

2. Landlords evicting anti-social tenants before changes to tenancy legislation come into force.


The spike in evictions is a direct...

Hi All,

Here's a summary of the new changes to the RTA - that all Landlords need to know - and if you're managing your rental properties you will need to know the Act and the changes in more detail.

Hi Property Investors,

I heard from a friend that after the tenancy reform next month, we can no longer demand the tenant to renew a fixed term tenancy, and it will become periodic tenancy. If this is true can the landlord still end the fixed term tenancy? And then re advertise it for new...

Happy New Year!

In another discussion 'is buying cheaper than renting' - a user mentioned 'asking prices for rents will climb steeply this year' however this may be thwarted if 'renters protest and Jacinda and co. impose a rents freeze.

Hi property investors

I just found out the tenant smoked inside the house as there was smell and a pack of cigarettes' in the room. It is a breach of the tenancy agreement, What can i do to get the tenant out if i don't want to wait until the fixed term tenancy end?

Thank ...

A lot of maintenance issues raised by the tenant at the end of a tenancy. Nothing to do with the thousands in rent arrears I am sure.

Not sure I would engage the tenant for his day job as insulation installer as he couldn't manage to provide proof of the current state of insulation. Landlord...

Hello,

The kitchen bench at my rental property has been damaged by the tenants, accidental or otherwise. It is a laminate bench top that has cracked right through at its narrowest part where the sink is installed. Are my tenants liable to pay for this damage or pay the excess of an insurance...

We've recently had new tenants move into our house in Auckland, and they just purchased a fridge off of Trade Me that keeps tripping the fuse to the kitchen - a friend of mine (with an electrical background) popped in to check out what's going on, and has said that the fridge is an older model, so will...
