What you need to know

Some legal expenses incurred in producing your rental income are deductible, for example, the cost of evicting a non-paying tenant or recovering unpaid rent.

Most legal expenses, however, are of a capital nature and are therefore not deductible-including costs of:

  • resisting land resumption
  • purchasing or disposing of your property, and
  • defending your title to the property.
