No tax on Tips for Rental Income

[John Underwood]

So, when Trump changes to no tax on tips I feel inclined to change my rental income structure.

50% reduction in rent.

Previous 50% made up from a mandatory nontaxable tip.  This will be for my excellent service as a landlord.

Just like a restaurant does when you have a party of 8 or more - they add a mandatory tip.

Doubt there will be any laws against this, at least initially.

Quote from @Aaron Zimmerman:

I would look for other ways to legally reduce income such as cost segregation studies. Also - the no taxes on tips is not currently law. 

Yeah, I think you may be missing an attempt at humor here....but then you are an accountant..... :-)
