The issuer of the form 1099-MISC has determined that it is rent. The IRS will get a copy of the form and assume that as well and will look to see if it is reported as such on your tax return.
It will cause less trouble to report it that way, especially if it won't make a difference on your tax. However, you can report it as other income on your return by following these steps it you want:
1. Go to the "Federal" section of TurboTax
2. Click on "Income and Expenses"
3. Find "Less Common Income" and choose the last entry "Miscellaneous Income"
4. On the next screen, "Miscellaneous Income" choose the last entry "Other Reportable Income"
5. Enter a description for your entry and enter the amount you want to report as other income
