We have a condo that we advertised to rent out last year however it was never rented can we deduct condo fees and mortgage interest etc

We originally purchased the Condo in 2017 for our son to go to school. that did not work out and he moved out of the unit. we have tried using a property manager to rent the unit. We were unable to get a renter into the condo and now have the unit for sale. I would like to know if we can deduct any of the expenses we have incurred on it

Yes, as long as you show proof of the attempt to rent the unit, you can claim these expenses.

Always keep a detailed log of all information pertaining to your rental property for the CRA if needed.
