Education

No, Rent  ( housing, or room & board)   is not a qualified education expense so you cannot claim it under education credits.

 

However, depending on the state you live in, you may be eligible for a renters credit/deduction which you will be able to enter when you file your state return. When you file your state return, it will ask you for your rent info, if your state provides any deduction or credit for it.
