Question

My 2020 income was less than $60,000, I rented an apartment for 6 month. I am a resident of MI, and per Turbo Tax I don't qualify for homestead property tax credit. Why?

I paid for rent $6,480 per 6 months.

It appears you from your entries you would qualify. Two items to look at. First is your household income. If you received certain non-taxable income that also counts toward your household income that may take you over the $60,000 income limit. You would have selected the income sources as part of the MI interview for the credit.

Next, be sure you have entered at least 6 months for the rental time. You can leave the days blank (or use more than 183 days).
