Only homeowners who use the home as a primary residence can claim the homeowners exemption.  I’m not quite sure from your question who is actually living in the property, but if it is a rental to someone else, you’re out of luck.  There may be some other deductions you can take as it is an income property.  Ask your personal tax expert.
