Deductions & credits

I am encountering a similar question as I've moved to the UK for a PhD program and though I am renting an apartment here, I am now liable to pay an extra $1500 annually in Council Tax (that is property tax). I would like to somehow apply this liability to my US taxes. Is this possible as I am a renter and this is UK apartment is now my primary residence for the duration of my schooling?

 

Thank you!
