Q. Am I able to claim "Head of Household (HoH)"?

A. No.

Your tenant is not relevant.  Your daughter is not a qualifying person, for HoH,  because 1. you do not claim her as a dependent and 2. She does not live with you. Although being away at college is only considered a temporary absence from the parents home, "She didn't grow up on my property......" indicates it's the other parent's home she is temporarily away from, not yours. 

 

If TT is recommending HoH, you've  entered something wrong.  Based on your description of your daughter's situation, you should not even be entering her in TT.
