Mutual Exchange Policy

This policy sets out our position in relation to allowing our tenants to exchange homes.

Melton Borough Council aims to support residents who need to move and to provide a level of choice about where they live. A mutual exchange is when two or more council or housing association tenants exchange (swap) their homes. Mutual exchanges encourage tenant mobility and supports sustainable communities through making best use of housing stock

This policy applies to tenants who hold a current secure tenancy. All other tenure types do not have the right of exchange.
