Q: I have rented out a terrace house, can I claim tax deduction for grass cutting and home cleaning services against the rental income?

A: If it is stated in the tenancy agreement that these services are provided by the landlord as part of the maintenance of the house, then these expenses are direct expenses which are deductible against the rental income.
