Game room for an Airbnb

$500-$10,000

Can You Write Off Game Room for an Airbnb?

Short answer: Yes: arcade games, pool tables, and other guest amenities are depreciated, or expensed if each item is $2,500 or less.

Short-term rentals with an average stay of 7 days or less follow business rules; expenses are only deductible for the share of use that's rental.

Records to keep: Keep leases, receipts, a log of repairs vs improvements, mileage to the property, and closing statements.
