Hey Everyone,

I'm currently doing my taxes for 2009 at the moment. I live in a house (one room), but rent the rest of the house out. In terms of % of sq feet, I would say that the space I live is 25% compared to the other tenants which is 75%.

I was filling out the form (Statement of Real Estate Rentals) and entered in the pertinent numbers. My question is, whether or not I can deduct utilities / property tax that I pay on behalf of the tenants (75%) from the total rental income?

I was also reading some previous posts from RFD members and they were talking about CCA's. Not sure what that was - some person wrote that you need to "own" or I guess "live" in the majority of the house in order for future tax purposes?
