I am a Temporary Resident whose visa expires shortly and I am leaving Australia. Can I keep the home I have lived in for the past 3 years and rent it out?
Unless the property you acquired was vacant land, which has subsequently been developed, or a brand new property, no. You must notify the Government and/or make arrangements to sell your property as soon as possible. If you fail to do so, you risk possible prosecution and your details will be forwarded to the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs which could affect the success of any subsequent applications to obtain visas to visit or reside in this country.
