Yes, TDS deduction can be claimed in the IT return. Income from rent shall be shown under the head income from other sources.

As per Rule 37BA, Clause 2(i), Where under any provisions of the Act, the whole or any part of the income on which tax has been deducted at source is assessable in the hands of a person other than the deductee, credit for the whole or any part of the tax deducted at source, as the case may be, shall be given to the other person and not to the deductee. Provided that the deductee files a declaration with the deductor and the deductor reports the tax deduction in the name of the other person in the information relating to deduction of tax. .
