Five obstacles to renting in Japan

・Language and detailed rules
You need to correctly understand the detailed rules in Japanese, such as the contract, house rules, garbage sorting, and consideration for neighbors. Misunderstandings can lead directly to trouble and additional costs.
・Guarantor and screening
You will need to submit your residence card/proof of residence period, place of employment, and proof of income. Advance preparations from overseas can be difficult.
- Initial costs are high : Deposit, key money, agency fees, key changes, cleaning fees...the total tends to be higher than expected.
・Starting from scratch with furniture and internet . You'll need to arrange your own bed, refrigerator, and desk. You may have to wait 1-2 weeks for internet to be connected.
-Long-term contract restrictions
Two-year contracts are common. Cancellations within a short period carry the risk of penalty charges.
Result: The time and money burden is greater immediately after arrival, delaying the start of work.
