How do we swap house keys? 

Home exchange vacation ideas for swapping house keys

If you have one, don't forget to leave the garage door remote. 


From our own home exchange experiences and the experiences that others have shared with us regarding exchanging of house keys:


If the exchange is completed early enough, maker a copy of your key and mail it to your exchange partner.

Some leave keys with their neighbour. This has some positives as well in that your exchange partners get to meet the neighbours, learn about the neighbour hood and your community. This is a great way to make new friends as well.

Some members leave their keys at designated drop off or message center areas in the airport. This is great if your partners are arriving on the same day you leave.

We have had exchange partners leave their keys hidden for us around the home. 

Have we ever heard of anyone forgetting to give their exchange partner a house key? Not yet!
