No, it would not be considered a sin. As far as anyone is concerned
you are paying rent and only rent (paying for a service or product). What your landlord, the actual owner of the mortgaged property, uses that money for has nothing to do with you. If he buys alcohol (or spends the money on something else forbidden) with it, that's not your fault or sin, that's his and his alone.
