You might be able to ‘swap’ your home by exchanging tenancies with another SSHA tenant or tenants of another housing association/council. This tenancy swap is called a mutual exchange.
If you would like to consider mutual exchange, start by registering with Home Swapper. This is a mutual exchange service exclusively for social housing tenants and it is free to use. When you register, you will need to log that SSHA is your current landlord.
We will need to give permission for a mutual exchange and there are certain factors that we take into consideration before granting permission. These factors include any rent arrears and outstanding repairs. To find out more please take a look at the mutual exchange guidance notes in useful document area below.
All parties involved must complete a copy of our application to exchange tenancies form.
A printable copy of the form can be found in the useful documents area below. You can send completed paper copies of the form to:
SSHA
Acton Court
Acton Gate
Staffordshire
ST18 9AP
Below you can also find our mutual exchange guidance notes which include details of what happens next, along with some frequently asked questions.
