The threshold limit w.e.f 1/7/2010 is Rs.1,80,000/- per annum.
If the landlord's are co owners , rent can be shared among them in the ratio of legal ownership, meaning thereby the above said cap can be applied to each of the co owner's.

Limit is increased from INR 120,000/- to 180,000/-.
In this case rent is shared by two person, so limit individually apply to both, and no need to deduct TDS in your case. Please check the ownership percentage or have a discussion with land lord.
Thanks
