trading the apartment [out] for two smaller units

Peer comment(s):

agree tatyana000 : I think you got the right idea here taking the Russian context into account. However, I have 2 quibbles. First, I wouldn't say "trading out", just trade or simply exchange. Second, you can't tell whether it's a large apt being traded or several smaller on

"размен", as opposed to "обмен", usually implies trading one unit for two or more smaller ones, e.g. in case of divorce, etc.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Спасибо за помощь. Вариант trading the apartment... наиболее полно отражает идею размена имеющейся жилплощади. Housing exchange тоже подходит, не не в моем случае, так как предполагает не только обмен, но и размен."

Thank you. The term "house exchange" is used loosely in the UK to cover flats too, and "housing" covers it all anyway.
agree Olga Cartlidge : Perhaps " accommodation swap " could cover both flats and houses.
