Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there English assistance available?

Yes, we offer English support throughout the rental process. Our team can assist you in English to make your rental experience easier.

Do you have real estate professionals?

Yes, our team includes experienced real estate professionals who are familiar with both Japanese rental practices and foreign renters’ needs.

Are there any hidden fees?

No, we aim to be transparent with all fees. We will inform you upfront about any deposits, key money, management fees, and other costs involved in your rental contract.

What are “shikikin” (deposit) and “reikin” (key money)?

“Shikikin” (deposit) is a refundable security deposit paid to cover damages. “Reikin” (key money) is a one-time, non-refundable payment to the landlord, a traditional gesture of appreciation.

Is the ‘shikikin’ refundable?

Yes, the “shikikin” deposit is typically refundable, minus any repair or cleaning costs due to damages beyond normal wear and tear.

Is “reikin” (key money) mandatory?

It depends on the property and landlord. Some properties do not require reikin, so let us know if you prefer a place without it.

Why are there so many fees when renting in Japan?

In Japan, rental agreements often include various fees, like deposits, key money, and management fees, due to traditional practices and security measures. We will explain each fee in detail.

What is a guarantor, and why do I need one?

A guarantor is someone who agrees to cover your rent if you cannot pay. In Japan, foreign renters often need both a guarantor and a guarantee company for extra security. We can help connect you with a guarantee company if needed.

Can I negotiate “reikin” (key money) or “shikikin” (deposit) amounts?

Negotiating reikin (key money) or shikikin (deposit) is usually difficult, especially for desirable properties in Tokyo. High demand means that landlords often have multiple interested applicants, so they are less likely to negotiate.

Do you offer properties with furniture and appliances?

Furnished properties are rare, but if you need furniture or appliances, we recommend considering share houses, which often include these amenities.
