In order to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes, there are two requirements .

1) You must actually pay the interest and the property taxes.

2) You must be legally liable for the debt or hold title to the property.

So, if you do not own the home and are not legally liable for the mortgage, your mortgage interest and property tax payments would be non deductible.
