- The tenant
In a home exchange there isn’t any money transaction, so that it can’t be considered as a sublet.
It’s as if you were inviting some friends to stay at your place, thing that every tenant has the right to do. So the house swapping option is good also for who doesn’t own a house.
Tenants too will therefore be able to benefit from house swap advantages:
- Accommodation cost zeroing;
- Possibility of preparing meals comfortably at home (with the additional option of a typical food exchange);
- Possibility of exchanging cars and therefore saving even more money;
- See the city from the inhabitants “inside” point of view;
- Not having timetables for breakfast, lunch, dinner, leaving the house;
- Chance to get a bigger or more expensive house than ours;
- Possibility of bringing along our pets;
- …
In tenants’ case what we could suggest is asking, anyway and for reasons of courtesy and politeness, to our landlord if he/she is fine with the home exchange.
Just to be on the safe side.
