I am selling a rental house. Will the interest on my bond over the period of ownership be part of the base cost?

No that was deductible against the rental income earned.

What is I stayed in the house for a period and did not rent it out? Will the intrest on my bond for that period then be a part of base cost?

No, interest on bond payments will never be part of the base cost. If you did any renovations or improvements, these would be added to the cost.
