How do we swap 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:
Ideas:
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! However
we have forgotten to leave one of our exchange partners the remote that
opens our garage door. The remote went with us in the car, leaving
our partners having to open the garage door with the keypad outside the
house.
Back to Your
home exchange is arranged - now what?
