Questions about permanent swaps
Two people or households exchange homes for a defined period or transition, depending on their needs and legal setup.
A permanent swap can connect you with homes whose existing rents are below current open-market prices, including an alternative to newer or less regulated rentals.
Often yes, but a permanent swap requires the landlords to be involved. Landlords are not obliged to approve the exchange.
Prepare the same material as for a normal rental application, such as identity, income, references, household details, and any locally required forms.
A permanent swap proceeds only after landlord approval. Existing tenancies end according to their terms and approved new leases document each tenancy.
