Once Housing SA have confirmed that you are registered to exchange your property you can begin looking for a new home.
You will need to find another tenant who wishes to swap properties, so follow these steps to make sure you meet the mutual exchange requirements.
- Step 1
Find a house to swap
Search the mutual exchange register at any regional Housing SA office to find properties and areas you'd like to move to. Information in the register includes:
- number of bedrooms
- type of property
- location
- details of any special features, like a carport
- a mutual exchange number.
- Step 2
Contact the current tenant
When you find a property you're interested in, give Housing SA the mutual exchange number of the property and they will give you a contact number for the tenant.
- Step 3
View the property
Arrange a time to see the property, and for the current tenant to come and see yours.
Before you agree to exchange properties, make sure you're happy with the property's size, location and condition.
- Step 4
Get approval to exchange properties
Once you've both decided you want to exchange properties, contact Housing SA.
You can't move until Housing SA approves the exchange
