Answer "Yes", since you received NO RENTAL INCOME and that would be LESS THAN 20%.
It is one of the requirements of the credit.
According to the State of New York:
"You are entitled to this refundable credit if you meet all of the following requirements for the tax year:
- you are subject to tax under Tax Law Article 22,
- you were a New York State resident for all of the tax year,
- your qualified gross income is $250,000 or less,
- you owned and primarily resided for six months or more of the tax year in real property that received the STAR exemption or that qualified you for the STAR credit,
- any rent you received from nonresidential use of your residence was 20% or less of the rental income, and
- you are the one that paid real property taxes on the property fully or partially."
