Can college student declare rental house on state taxes when being declared a dependent on parents return?

My son is full time student and rents house year round up at campus.  We are declaring him on our taxes as dependent.  When filing his taxes this year he listed someone else can claim him on taxes and state form asked if he rents house (he does have full year lease where he resides for 9 months of the year).  Can he declare the rent on State return since we are declaring him as a dependent?  This is the first year that TurboTax asked this question.  He would only be able to deduct 6 months of rent as lease goes July 1 to June 30?
