What kind of lease. Vehicle, property, business.\nI cant see how owing money every week to someone for something can be deemed as an asset, unless its business lease say a hotel or something. This you would be able to sell on.

You can deduct rent of equipment and real estate used in conducting your business but not your residence except for the part you use for conducting business.

Yes.  A Lease goes for a period of time. Once it's up the lease must be renewed, and the landlord has the opportunity to do a number of different things including choosing not to renew it.

Do you have a contract???  If you don't, either get one or move.  \n\nShe currently owns the property and you have no rights.  You may loose money, but it's better to loose a year's worth than 5 or 10.

Leasing=eventually you will own the property at the end of the agreement\nrenting=you're paying for the right to live in someone else property\n\nsometimes apartment complexes use the terms interchangeably

Well you'll have to do the math.  If you purchase you can depreciate the asset.  If you lease you will save $ up front and can use the money you saved to invest in your business.

With IT procurement you may have to choose between leasing or buying the equipment.  You may also have to consider the size of the company and see if you can buy directly from the vendor, if your company is large enough, or have to purchase machines from a value added reseller (VAR).  In addition to the hardware you also have to consider the purchase of the software.\n\nYou also have to consider the financial recording impact of the assets depreciating that is not indicative of other non-depreciating assets.

If you are renting a unit to store your business supplies or whatever it would be a tax write off.

It will depend on your lease... read it.  If your unsure seek advice from a solicitor... remember just because it's in your lease doesn't mean it's legal! Get it checked out if it looks like you might not get your money back.  Most leases will have a clause so that either party can withdrawal from the agreement.  There may be a penalty for this but it could depend on the reasons behind why the lease is being broken.

In some states that information is required to be in your lease.  Check the small print on your lease document.

no way, sorry. what you have is an asset, not an expense. \n\nif the money was stolen or the contractor went out of biz, you might have a casualty loss.

it means it currently is rented by a tenant with a assured shorthold tenancy agreement, meaning they have a leagally binding contract allowing them to rent the property till the end of the fixed term of the agreement.

1) Yes\n2) The easiest way would be to rent your property to a Non Resident Alien and he will pay with CASH and you don't have to report anything.\n\nI asume you mean a house.\nIf you are buying commercial property then you won't be able to do it that way unless the business owner is also a Non Resident Alien.\n\nWhere is your property?

Unfortunately not. But you can claim all sorts of things, including expenses relating to maintaining and upkeep of the home based on the same portion or percentage of your home that you use for business (office, and a washroom, living room for presentations, etc.) Here in Canada we can base that on how many rooms in the home we use for business or the actual floor space. It might be 4 rooms out of 8, which would be 1/2 and allow us to claim 1/4 of the homes heat, maintenance and mortgage or rent. \n\nThere's some good relevant Tax Reduction information out there - folks who keep up with the current laws that can help you out a lot just by researching their stuff.

The Uniform Commercial Code seems to regulate commercial loans with collateral (i.e. business loans).  Personal and real property loans (plain common law contracts) are governed by the state, as they are individual loans.\n\nGood Luck

It's strange you landlord did that. Typically, a rental lease agreement specifies the terms of maintenance. You should review the contract carefully. If it says the landord is responsible for any maintenance issues, you should not be liable. In California, it is a landlord's responsibility to keep an apartment habitable.
