Clear rental costs and patient guidance so you can sign with total confidence
Renting an apartment in Japan comes with fees and paperwork that can be confusing at first.
I break down every cost clearly so you understand your move-in expenses and your real monthly rent.
I review all documents with you and answer every question patiently, making sure you move into your new home with complete peace of mind.
The questions almost everyone brings to our first conversation.
In most cases, no. Almost every contract today uses a guarantor company (保証会社), so you pay a fee instead of finding a personal guarantor. I handle that part and tell you upfront what each property requires.
Move-in costs (初期費用) usually run four to six months of rent, covering deposit, key money, guarantor fee, insurance and the first month. The amount can be paid in up to 60 installments, with no credit card needed. I give you the full figure for the property you pick before you commit to anything.
Yes. From the first message to signing, including talking to the management company and going through the contract with you. The languages I work in are listed above on this page.
No. Asking questions, viewing properties and getting a cost breakdown are all free. The brokerage fee only applies if a contract goes through, and it appears in the breakdown I show you before you sign.
