No only one head of household per a house.

"I am renting a room.."  No, you are not head of household.  And you have not mentioned having a dependent child.

 

Am I Head of Household?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your filing status (single or married filing separately) into Personal Info, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.
