There is no deduction for renting your property at below market rates. In fact, the problem with not renting your property at Fair Rental Value (FRV) is that you aren't allowed to claim a loss if your expenses exceed your income. 

When you enter your property in TurboTax, you are asked it you rented the property at a fair rental price. Every day that is rented at less than FRV is considered as a day of personal use.

Are you sure that your particular property is actually rented for less than it could be? Are there any factors about your property that would result in a lower fair rental value? You should be sure before you make this determination.
