No I don't have receipts it was just done verbally without a rental agreement as to I'm living with parent in their home and I pay cash every month.

That sounds more like family cost sharing that should not go on a tax return.  But we do not know the agreement you have with your parents.   Are they willing to claim the rent you pay as income on their tax return ---which they will need to do if you are claiming a rent credit.
