Renting house on H1B

I am on H1B status. My employer wants me to work at a different location starting next month. I own a house here where I am working now. I might come back in a year. My plan is to rent out my house for a year. I have hired a property management company to search for renter, collect rent and take care of all services and repairs. This will be only short term ( 1-1.5 years). I will sell it off when I am sure that I am not moving back.

Can I rent out my house and collect rent legally and not violate H1B status in this case?

Yes, you can have rental property income. It is not salaried, earned income. I am wondering if the new work location complies with the terms of your H-1B, including the Dept. of Labor Certification.
