No, not unless you are in the business of renting property or your rental property is a commercial property.
See the following information from TurboTax help content related to Section 179 deductions:
Deduct the Full Value This Year
Taking the Section 179 deduction allows you to deduct the entire value of the item this year (rather than writing it off over several years).
If your business is showing a profit, claiming the Section 179 deduction might work to your advantage. The additional deduction will reduce your profit this year, which means you will pay less in taxes and keep more money in your pocket. You might prefer that to saving money over a few years to come.
Keep in mind, though, if you take the Section 179 deduction on this item, the IRS says you'll need to continue using the item more than 50% of the time for your business. If business use of the item drops to 50% or less during the life of the item (the number of years you would be depreciating it if you hadn't taken the Section 179 deduction), the IRS will retroactively deny your Section 179 deduction. As a result, you'll be required to recapture the deduction; that is, declare it as taxable income.
Note:
Property you acquire only for the production of income, such as investment property, rental property (if renting property is not your trade or business), and property that produces royalties, does not qualify. For example, residential real property may qualify for Section 179 depending on the nature of the trade or business it is used in.
