I suppose they could write it off against future income. I have a note to hand, which I will outline. In general, landlords can claim a deduction in their accounts for tax purposes or expenses incurred on the maintenance of investment properties. However, I believe their inclusion in the home renovation incentive will further encourage landlords to renovate their properties in order to make them suitable for rental. I suppose the issue is that they should not get double relief.
