US tax question

Employer currently pays the apartment rent and lease is in company's name. I want to buy a house and employer is allowing the same money that is paid in rent to go towards mortgage that will be in my name.

The question: Is there a difference in tax liability having that money paid to me as salary or having it as housing allowance. Or is there even a difference?
