Home exchangers, we need your help!

Sign our petition to keep home exchange free and available to all

A number of jurisdictions around the world have recently introduced or are considering the introduction of laws governing the restriction and/or licensing of short-term rental accommodation.

These laws have in some cases, notably Scotland and Amsterdam, explicitly include home exchanging / home swapping within the laws for short-term lets. Others have laws which are ambiguous.

We have created a petition to stop legislators including home exchange within short-term rental legislation, and to treat home exchange on its own and on its merits.

We believe we should not be subject to licensing to host a home exchange.

We believe that the act of including home exchanging in short term rental legislation misunderstands the difference and punishes a class of travel accommodation that is a part of the solution to the problems that the legislators are trying to address.

Please visit our petition, sign it and share it including to members of other home exchange sites. This doesn't just affect us. It affects everyone who exchanges.

After a decade as a wildlife assistant, Liz Martin resigned this week from volunteering with WIRES, demoralized by what she sees as a head office war against its own members. Wildlife cages at his home in northwest Sydney have provided shelter for more than 400 possums and gliders over the years. They are now empty, and five ring-tailed possums that have recently returned to the wild will be the last group to breed.
