   should they 1099 you?  No..............If they want to, sure.  Do they have to?  no.

   Basically if this is being done for business then you should get a 1099 MISC.

   And sometime you might not know.

   For example you can get doing repairs on an office in a home and it is being used as his business office and would deduct the expense then it should be 1099'd.

   But many people have home offices where they don't conduct business and thus it is a personal expense and there is no requirement for a 1099.

   An other place where you might get a 1099 on a residence is if it is owned by a bank or a reloc department.

   I am not sure, but rental property is an investment and not a business and I don't think that there is a need for sending one out for work on a rental property.

   The only customers that have ever 1099'd me are farmers, I suppose they write off our labor as some sort of farm deduction.  I've done work for other businesses and never got a 1099 from them.
