Swwitch l We sublet your student accommodation!

Help your tenant enjoy peace of mind when it comes to getting around

While enhancing its appeal, we manage your property for a few months to allow your tenant to keep their home even while they’re away for school or work.

About Us

The leading network of agencies specializing in apartment subleasing
Founded in 2022, Swwitch is the first real estate agency specializing in subleasing. During periods when tenants are away (internships, stays abroad, work-related travel, university exchanges, Erasmus, vacations), we sublet the property with the owner’s or property manager’s consent and reimburse the tenant’s rent every month.

Our goals? To put an end to unregulated and illegal subletting. To establish a professional and legal framework for this practice. To help tenants facing relocation avoid paying rent on an empty unit and enable them to keep their homes in the long term.

Why agree to a sublease?

Eliminate rental vacancies

Don't leave your home vacant

Don’t leave your property vacant while your tenant is away. Avoid the risk of “ squatting” and burglary.

Supervision of subletting.

Subletting is permitted if your tenant obtains your written consent. We do not accept any apartments for management without this authorization and strictly comply with applicable laws.

As such, Swwitch holds a professional license that allows it to legally operate as a property management company and is covered by a financial guarantee of up to €120,000.

Who are the subtenants?

Subtenants are either French or international students who come to France for a few months as part of an exchange program (internship, study abroad, Erasmus, etc.). Generally, these are students who come to study at our partner schools or universities. Or they are professionals on assignment.

Words from Landlords

“Swwitch helped me maintain a long-term relationship with my tenant, a business school student. He had to
go abroad for internships and exchange programs almost every year. Thanks to Swwitch, I was able to keep my
tenant over the long term. The sublease was handled extremely professionally by the teams; they
reassured me that the apartment was being well managed.

“At first, we were quite surprised by our tenant’s request. Then we got in touch with a member of the Swwitch team who put our minds at ease about the sublease. We discussed it with the property owner, who eventually agreed. Everything went very smoothly—no unpaid rent or damage—so I highly recommend it. ”

Swwitch reimbursed my tenant’s rent every month during his six-month ERASMUS program in Madrid. I’ll admit that I hadn’t really anticipated this mobility issue when I agreed to host a student in my home. But thanks to Swwitch, I was able to avoid having my property sit vacant.
