Residential Rental Property
Residential rental property refers to rental units utilized for dwelling purposes, excluding transient lodging like hotels or motels. To qualify as residential for income tax purposes, at least 80% of a building’s income should come from dwelling units. This type of property is eligible for a 27½-year life for tax depreciation purposes, compared to a 39-year life for nonresidential property.
