I own a two family house and have been renting half of it for the past 13 years(since purchase). My tenants will be moving out this fall and I plan to find new tenants by word of mouth only. I also plan to be very selective in accepting new tenants. The question is, how long can the place remain vacant and still be eligible for the tax advantages of rental property? I will still have expenses while it is vacant (electricity,heat,rental portion of property taxes,etc)
