(Large) Repair cost for a letting property

Atui

hi all,

I am letting a flat, and I just received a section 20 notice from my flat's management company, turned out I will need to pay 6500 pounds towards the repair of the flat building's roof. Is it correct for me to assume this expense can be deducted from rental income please? Sorry if it's an obvious answer but due to the unexpected large amount would be appreciated if I could get a clear answer. thanks a lot.

a repair is a repair, no matter how small or large it is

hint: a roof is part of the building, it is not a capital asset on its own. There is a section explaining that in the above link
