Student A currently on a student visa had bought an established dwelling last year. According to the FIRB approval, the established dwelling shall not be rented out. ( https://firb.gov.au/resources/guidance/gn11/) However, Student A had been renting the premises unofficially for over one year with one tenant and 3 tenants in the last few months. There does not exist any tenant agreement or bond for tenancy. Does this still fall under the breach of conditions? If so, civil or criminal and the penalty for the same ?

Yes of course this is still a breach, yes both civil and criminal penalties may apply.
However is this truly a rental? Or has he bought it and is sharing with some fellow students? If so there is probably no problem. Edited by citizen-joe - 16/September/2017 at 23:04 |

Yes, i understand that it is a breach. But without any proof, the tenants could always say that they are staying as a guest in the house? am i wrong in assuming that they cannot pursue this legally? there exists no evidence of advertisement for housemates, or anything on paper? would this have any effect on applying for a PR in future.?
