  1. Rates are declining balance unless otherwise indicated. Property acquired during the year generally qualifies for half of the capital cost allowance. However, this measure is suspended for property acquired and available for use before 2028. Furthermore, property acquired after 2024 and that becomes available for use before 2030 generally qualifies for an enhanced deduction in the first year of 150% of the deduction normally granted, at the rate applicable to the class (without half rate). This rate does not apply to property that is fully deductible in the first year.

The housing units must not be made available to travellers or vacationers and must be rented or offered for rent for continuous periods of at least 28 consecutive days. The conversion of a non-residential building into a residential building or an addition to a residential building are eligible if the conditions are met, but renovations to existing residential buildings are not.
