Good to know
Be careful, you can only deduct from your property income the expenses made in respect of a dwelling for which you actually receive rent. For example, if you own 3 apartments and you rent only 2, you are not allowed to deduct any work done on the property left vacant.
Similarly, only fees paid by December 31 at the latest can be deducted from your property income collected during the year. Thus, an invoice paid in January 2020 is not deductible from rents received in 2019 even if the work took place before December 31.
