Tim rented the property out for 4 years, from 10 October 2016 to 10 October 2020. During this period, he derived rent of $46,000. At all other times he kept it for private use by his family. During the period that he owned the property he had paid a total of $115,000 in interest, rates, and insurance. He had claimed $12,000 of the $115,000 as a tax deduction for the period it was rented out. He also spent $5,278 on legal fees as a result of having a dispute with his neighbour as to where the boundary was for the property.
