It's just unfair to make someone pay more than what the game already forces them to). If you leave your plot without making anyone pay for you to leave, it should be fine.
He explicitly says there's no money being exchanged, and the players are only paying for the plot from the plot itself. The GM is saying that agreeing to swap plots is somehow illegal.
