It depends. Please see the highlighted requirements below.

Questions to verify:

1. If your school does not have a dormitory, does your school still provide any allowance for room and broad that was included in the cost of attendance?

2. Is the off-campus apartment rent operated by your school?

If your school does not provide any allowance and the apartment is not operated by your school, you cannot claim any deduction on your federal tax return.

If your school provides an allowance or the apartment is operated by your school, you might be able to claim depends on the amount of the rent.
