You've got to be in it to win it: tenants can only find your home once it's listed. Right now, another tenant could be searching for a home just like yours. Don't let them miss it. Every day you're not listed is a match you could miss. Register now and get in the loop.
Is Your Swap Site Really Free?
Your landlord's mutual exchange site appears to cost you nothing to join.

Paid From Rent
Your landlord pays the swap site, and rent is a landlord's main income. "Free" just means you never see the bill.
Everyone Pays, A Few Use It
Every tenant's rent helps pay for it, though only a few ever want to move. The swap site's real customer is your landlord, not you.
Free Lists Fill With Ghosts
Nothing nudges anyone to leave a list that costs nothing to stay on. Here, only tenants who chose to join are listed, and we clear out the ghosts.

The Great Council House Swap: No Van, No Plan, Just Pure Chaos (And Why I’d Still Do It Again)
Let me tell you about the time I swapped my council house without a removal van. Not because I’m some thrifty genius and not because I had a sudden surge of eco-friendly principles. No. Because I am an idiot who thought “how hard can it be?”, and then realised the actual answer is “very hard, and also extremely funny", in hindsight.
Can My Landlord Refuse a Mutual Exchange?
Yes, but only for a short list of reasons set in law, such as rent arrears or a home that’s too big or small for the incoming household. Council and most housing association landlords must reply within 42 days.
The Sofa, the Stairwell, and the Longest Twenty Minutes of the Move
Every mutual exchange has one piece of furniture that nearly doesn't make it. Here's what nobody tells you about measuring twice - and what actually matters once it's finally through the door.
