Why are days rented needed for a second home?

My wife inherited her parents home a few years ago. It is in a different State. She has a friend watching the property for her. It is NOT rented. While TT was reviewing my return, it pointed to Schedule E, Complete For All Rental Properties that I needed to put 'Days rented at fair market value.  I put 0, but it generates an error (Days rented must be greater than or equal to 15.  If number of days rented is less than 15, the income and expenses should not be reported on this schedule.) Not sure how to address this.
