How do you get an exchange?
Finding another tenant interested in carrying out an exchange is often difficult. Details of tenants requesting an exchange can be obtained from all our neighbourhood housing offices.
Our staff will do their best to make sure you only receive enquiries from genuine callers and will keep a record of everyone who makes enquiries. If you are worried about this, our staff will be happy to discuss ways of avoiding any problems. Be as careful as you can and, if you have any doubt about a visitor, do not let them into your home.
You can also advertise for an exchange in other ways. For example, you can put an advert in the local paper or in a newsagent’s window. You normally have to pay for these adverts.
Please note
If you have a temporary tenancy or an introductory tenancy granted under the terms of the Housing Act 1996, you do not have the right to exchange.
