If you’ve been watching any house swap reality shows thinking, “Hey, why not?”—this one’s for you. House swapping can be the ultimate way to travel like a local while saving money. But before you hand over your keys to a stranger, here’s what you need to know.

Vet Your Swappers

Not to sound like your mom or anything, but… do your homework! Check reviews, swap history, and maybe even stalk their social media (just a bit). If something feels off, keep on searching.

Set Clear Expectations

Communication is key. Outline any house rules and definite no-goes. Whether it’s regularly watering your plant babies or not touching your secret candy stash, make it crystal clear.

Secure Your Valuables

No one wants to come home to find their precious collection of vintage vinyls gone. Lock up your valuables or just take them with you. Better safe than sorry.

Leave a Welcome Guide

Make your swappers’ stay as comfy as possible with a guide to your home and neighborhood. Include Wi-Fi passwords, local hotspots, emergency contacts, and any recommendations that come to mind.

Keep it Clean

Leave your place even cleaner than your regular maintenance. It’ll give your temporary tenants the perfect experience, plus, it might also help you gain some good swap karma—what goes around, comes around.
