Swap category
Choose “Swap” when posting — your listing appears alongside others open to an exchange.
For swappers
Swap your flat with someone else's
Moving cities but want to keep renting? List your place as a swap and find someone in Berlin — or elsewhere — who wants yours. Renting out long-term instead? See for landlords & WG hosts. Subletting while away? Try for tenants subletting. Just looking for a flat? Head to for apartment seekers.

Show your current flat with photos and explain where you want to move — city, size, dates.
Direct messaging
Compare situations in-app before sharing lease details or arranging viewings.

Berlin-focused pool
Smaller than general classifieds, but everyone here is in the rental market.
How swapping works here
- 1 Post your current flat as a swap listing with photos, rent, and target location.
- 2 Browse other swap listings or wait for messages from interested swappers.
- 3 Align on dates, lease rules, and logistics — renting.berlin connects you, not the paperwork.
- 4 After a completed rental period, leave verified feedback on each other's profiles.
Lease & legal
Swaps often involve subletting or assignment clauses in your Mietvertrag. Check with your landlord before committing — we help you find a match, not replace legal advice.
