Subletting Room During Exchange - Registration?

Hi,

I am a non-EU student going on exchange for semester 1 from the University of Groningen. I want to sublet my room (and the owner of the flat is fine with this too) but it seems that if I give up my registration (which I don't have to do because I will return within 8 months) I'll also loose my residency permit. I can't find any alternative to this and I worry that it means I won't be able to let my room which not only means I'd have to pay double rent which I realistically don't want to/can't actually afford to do and it also means that in a city where so many people struggle to find a room, especially exchange students, there would be one empty for a full semester, which strikes me as silly since its really only for the sake of bureaucracy.

Is there anything that can be done in this instance?
