Where do you live the rest of the year? A property that you own, but use as a rental, would not count as you maintaining a home. Do you have a dependent? If you do not have a qualifying dependent, you cannot file as head of household.
To file as Head of Household, you have to:
- Pay for more than half of the expenses for a qualifying household
- Be considered unmarried on the last day of the tax year
- Have a qualifying child or dependent
