You might want to ask your CPA, but in my experience, "rental income" is not "business income", unless you are providing "services".
Rental of personal property is business income under most circumstances ... rental of real estate is not, unless you're determined to be in the real estate business in a meaningful and personal way and make a profit from it.
A CPA could give you a better answer.
