What documentation do I need when renting office space as a contractor?

I'm thinking of renting space for an office and am wondering what kind of tax documents I'll need to gather from the landlord at the end of the year?

When claiming business expenses on your return you should always have proof that you had incurred these expenses. In your situation, I would recommend that you should have a copy of your lease and proof of my payment, like receipts or bank statements, for the rent. If you'd like to know more about tax deductions available for self-employed people, here is a link to a great TurboTax article.
