What is the right thing to do if two families in different communities swap houses for a month or two?

If each community has a family mikvah membership program, is it automatic under halacha that the out of town house-sitting "guest" uses the community mikvah under the host's unused membership?

Why on earth would you think that? Just because you aree using their house doesn't make you a member of their family. Next you'll be saying that you should be able to use their JCC/Sports Club membership, health plan, etc.

I think a lot of health clubs in fact do have reciprocity just with other clubs so that a member traveling can continue their exercise routine anywhere they go.

Al pi halacha? That was the original question.

And unless this person is a Chassid, how many times is the family going to use the mikveh over the course of a couple of months? It can't cost that much per "go".

I thought the question had to do with women exchanging their mikvah rights over the course of a month or two of house swap?

Is it ever the custom of mikvah's which sell a family membership that if a woman is traveling through another community that the one mikvah reciprocates with the other mikvah to honor their membership? If so all the more so in a case of an actual swap when there will be two reciprocations balancing each other perhaps?

I'm curious on that even if this is not a correct understanding of her initial question.
