Assuming you owned the house and you are the bankrupt debtor, it varies from state to state and lender to lender. If you surrendered the house, you should turn the keys over to the lender's attorney. Even if you do that, you may find yourself still getting the real estate tax bills, water and sewer bills, etc. If the lender or someone else has not purchased the house at auction, you may be able to stay for quite a while. Talk to your bankruptcy lawyer about it.
