Swap your rental home with someone who wants what you have

Yes, if your landlord agrees. You need a tenancy agreement in your own name: subtenants and people living with someone else cannot swap. Every landlord has its own conditions, for example how long you have lived in the home.

No. You list your home first and look for a swap partner. Once you have found a swap, you apply to your landlords together.

Social housing and homes in the private rental sector, from a housing association or a private landlord. Both landlords have to agree. You cannot swap owner-occupied homes.

Most swaps are 1-for-1: you get the other person's home and they get yours. You can also swap one home for two, for example when you split up, or two homes for one when you move in together.

Nothing. Creating an account, listing your home, showing interest and sending messages to your matches are all free at the moment. If anything starts costing money later, we will tell you first.

Yes. Social housing sometimes comes with extra rules, such as an income limit or a housing permit from the municipality. Your landlord can tell you what applies to your home.

Not always. After a swap you get a new tenancy agreement, and the landlord may set the rent again. Ask before you agree on the swap.

That mostly depends on how quickly you find a suitable swap partner. After that the landlords review your application, which usually takes a few weeks.
