What Happens to My Depreciation When a Tenant Causes Damage?
Quick Answer
When a tenant causes damage, your depreciation claim may be affected depending on the repair or replacement needed. Under **Division 40 of ITAA 1997**, you can claim depreciation on new assets if you replace damaged items, while repairs may be deductible immediately. Consult your accountant for precise advice.
