topic I pay the mortgage on a house that is not in my name on the deed/statements. Can I claim it as rent in Michigan without the owner having to claim payment as income? in Investors & landlords https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/investments-and-rental-properties/discussion/i-pay-the-mortgage-on-a-house-that-is-not-in-my-name-on-the-deed-statements-can-i-claim-it-as-rent/01/714780#M31691 <P>I pay the mortgage payment on a house that is not in my name on the deed or statements.
