Questions about swaps in Germany
If you rent, check your lease and ask your landlord before confirming. Many German swaps also need clear notes on registration, keys, utilities, and who may stay in the flat.
Sometimes, but only if the host can legally provide the required confirmation. Discuss registration needs early because not every short stay can support Anmeldung.
Start before the April and October semester waves when demand rises in university cities. More lead time helps with landlord approval and handover planning.
Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, and Cologne are strong starting points because student, internship, and work moves often overlap there.
