Doesn't matter how many months you rent, you can deduct all of the interest/property taxes in the year you paid them. You will need to allocate the expenses between the rental/personal sections.

Ex: Lived in home for 9 months and rental for 3 months. Allocate 75% of interest/property taxes as a personal deduction and 25% as a rental deduction.
