No, you can not stop depreciating a rental property even if you do not need the deduction anymore.

Depreciation is accumulated for as long as you use the property.  The accumulated depreciation is used in determining your cost basis in the property was you sell it.

When you sell or dispose of the property you will need the total depreciation allowable.
