ALL your income is assessable, whether it is on a daily or monthly basis.  Your TDS credit goes to reduce your tax lliability at the end of the year when you have to file the return of income.  

This Financial Year, the rate of TDS is 10% for property.  Last year, till 30.9.2009, the rate used to be 15% and this is probably the reason for your confusion.   If you have collected three months rent in advance, then the client may not pay for the last three months.  Naturally there would be no TDS done by them. 

All the issues raised by you are covered in Chapter IV-C of the Income Tax Act.  All the amount spent on refurbishing the place are not allowable as expenditure from your income.  Instead you have a flat 30% deduction from the total receipts minus property tax.
