Sublets in Israel: how they work, and how to find one directly

In Israel, “sablet” (sublet) is everyday vocabulary. People travel for a few weeks or months and rent out their furnished apartment in the meantime. For new immigrants, students, remote workers and long family visits, it is often the easiest way to settle in.
