Hi there

I have been leasing my investment property to a tenant through a management agency. I am considering at the end of lease, signing a headlease with a community housing organisation that provides homes for vulnerable people in the community. The way it works is the community housing organisation has a 'headlease' with either me or my property manager, and essentially becomes the tenant, with agreement to sublease. I was wondering if this would change anything with regard to the way the ATO views the investment, or is the community housing organisation just treated like any other tenant.

Hi @Dani85


Based on what you've said it sounds like this would still be the same arrangement if the community housing organisation is paying rent to you. But I recommend getting tailored technical assistance from us if there's something in particular that you had concerns about. That way we can ask you more questions about the arrangement to work out the treatment.
