Only if part of the property was let out. If the entire property was let out then both of you must have received rent for the property. Otherwise it might lead to your wife has taken your part of the property on rent and hence pay rent to you for your part. It would lead to deemed to be let out property to your wife.

In such a case is only half the rent received to be included in the wife's total income?
