How to File Schedule E / Form 8582 When Rental Property Had No Income?

We moved out of state and put our home on the rental market at the beginning of August. To prepare for this we invested almost $30k in maintenance, fixes, etc, to get it ready. However, the rental market shifted and we were unable to rent the property before Jan 2023, and therefore have zero rental income. Even though we had no income, do we still need to file Schedule E in order to also submit 8582? Also, we're not sure which of the below expenses are actually eligible to carry forward as losses? -Replaced railing for safety reasons -Paint -Cleaning -New Oven -New HVAC Thanks, Jacob
