A complete guide to the process — from your first listing to the keys to your new home. Everything you need to know, step by step.
Describe your current home with photos, size, number of rooms, rent and facilities. The more complete your listing, the higher your quality score — and the better matches we find.
Your listing automatically gets a quality score from 0-100 based on number of photos, description length, completed fields and your activity on the platform. Other users can see the score directly on your listing, so they can quickly assess if it's worth contacting. You also get specific tips to improve your score.
Tell us exactly what you're looking for: area, minimum size, number of rooms, max rent. Set each preference as either a requirement (must-have) or a flexible preference. This gives you full control over which matches you see.
Your preferences drive the entire matching algorithm. Matches with high percentages meet your requirements. Matches with lower percentages can still be relevant — maybe the rent is slightly above your max, but everything else is a perfect fit.
This is where Byt og Flyt is fundamentally different from other platforms. You don't just see homes that match your preferences — you also see how well your home matches the other party's preferences. Two match scores, side by side.
Example: You see an apartment in Vesterbro that matches your preferences at 87%. At the same time, you can see that your home matches their preferences at 92%. That means you both have high interest — the swap is realistic. On other platforms, you'd contact them without knowing if they're even interested in your home.
When you find a promising match, you can send a message directly through the platform. Free users have unlimited messages to their matches. With Premium, you can contact anyone — even without a prior match.
We recommend starting by asking questions about the home, arranging a mutual viewing (in person or via video), and discussing the timeline for the swap. All communication happens securely on the platform.
When you agree, you contact your respective landlords for approval. Under Danish tenancy law, tenants in social housing have the right to swap after 3 years of residence. For private rentals, the landlord can only refuse with reasonable grounds.
The legal process involves both tenants terminating their current lease and signing a new lease with the other's landlord. The timeline depends on landlord processing time — typically 1-3 months from agreement to move-in.

Your listing is your most important tool. Here's what it looks like to other users:
Up to 10 photos of your home. Listings with 5+ photos get significantly more enquiries.
Size, rooms, floor, rent, facilities and neighbourhood. Everything a potential swap partner needs.
A visible score from 0-100 showing how complete and active your listing is. A high score signals a thorough listing and a serious swap partner.
Other users see how well your home matches their preferences — and you see the same about theirs. Mutual interest from the start.
MitID and SMS verification badges visible on your profile. This gives others confidence that you are who you say you are.
Byt og Flyt's matching algorithm is built to find realistic swap opportunities — not just one-way interest.
Most home swap platforms show you homes that match your preferences. But they don't tell you if the other party is interested in your home. Byt og Flyt shows both — for free. You get a match percentage from both sides, so you can immediately see if a swap is realistic.
Example: "Apartment in Vesterbro — matches your preferences: 87% | Your home matches their preferences: 92%"
What if you want to live in Nørrebro, but nobody in Nørrebro wants your home? With circular swaps, Byt og Flyt finds chains: A swaps with B, B swaps with C, and C swaps with A. Three families all get their dream home — without anyone needing a direct match.
Circular swaps are practically impossible to find manually. Our system automatically scans all active listings and discovers chains connecting users who would never have found each other.
Every listing gets a visible score based on completeness: number of photos, description depth, completed fields and activity level. The score helps you quickly assess which listings are thorough — without opening them all.
You also get specific tips to improve your own score. A higher score means more views and better matches.
In Facebook groups, you scroll through hundreds of posts hoping to find a match. Byt og Flyt automatically matches you with tenants who want your home — and who live in a home you're interested in.
On Facebook, you send a message and wait. On Byt og Flyt, you see the match percentage from both sides before making contact. No wasted time on one-way interest.
All users can verify themselves with MitID and SMS. You know who you're communicating with — no anonymous profiles, no scams.
Our system automatically discovers 3-way swap opportunities. That's something no Facebook group can offer.
Home swapping requires approval from both landlords. Under Danish tenancy law, tenants in social housing have the right to swap after 3 years of residence, and the landlord can only refuse with reasonable grounds. For private rentals, it depends on your lease. We recommend contacting your landlord early in the process — many landlords view swaps positively as they ensure stable tenancies.
Can't find a direct match? Byt og Flyt supports circular swaps where 3 or more parties swap in a chain. The system automatically scans all active listings and discovers opportunities that would be impossible to find manually.
Most users find relevant matches within 1-2 weeks of creating their listing. From agreement between parties to move-in typically takes 1-3 months, depending on landlord processing time and notice periods.
Core features are free: create a listing, search, see two-way matches, and send unlimited messages to your matches. Ad-free costs 19 DKK/month. Premium with contact without match and match boost costs 49 DKK/month. The home swap itself is always free — no agents, no commission, no new deposit.
Create your free listing and see your matches — it takes less than 5 minutes.
