Mutual Exchanges

If you want to exchange (swap) houses with another tenant this is known as a mutual exchange.  You may do this if you meet certain conditions.  You may exchange with a local-authority tenant, RSL tenant or tenant of a qualifying landlord. 

If you want to exchange homes, all tenants involved in the exchange must make sure that:

  • Rent accounts are clear and up to date
  • The properties involved are the right size for both you and the other person
  • They have looked after the properties and the properties are in a satisfactory condition
  • Both parties have not broken any conditions of their tenancy

Mutual exchanges must not take place before you have written permission from your landlord and have signed a new tenancy agreement.

If you want to apply for an exchange, you can download the Mutual Exchange Form or collect one directly from the Association's office.
