Even if it says a rental housing, there are general rentals, furnished apartments, monthly apartments and so on. Because each has its own characteristics, when choosing a room, let\u2019s choose the property that suits your lifestyle and purpose. <\/p>\n

\"rental-difference\"<\/p>\n

The general lease apartment requires a security deposit, key money, commission, guarantor, etc. The Commission fee is usually 1 month\u2019s rent. <\/p>\n

There are differences according to region and property, but it is common that key money is about the equivalent of 0 to 2 month\u2019s rent and security deposit is about the equivalent of 1 to 3 month\u2019s rent.
\nAny remaining security deposit after settlement of expenses at the time that housing is vacated is returned to you. <\/p>\n

When renting an apartment in Japan, you will need a Japanese guarantor but, recently, there are properties that can use the guarantee company instead of attaching a guarantor. <\/p>\n

\u203b A guarantee company is a company that guarantees to pay the rent to the landlord in the event that you do not pay the rent. To use such a company, you must pay a set guarantee fee. Please consult with a real estate company. <\/p>\n

The General Lease is recommended for a person with regards to these below circumstances.<\/strong>
\n\u30fbIf you are considering a long-term lease exceeding two years.
\n\u30fbIf you already have your own furniture and household appliances.
\n\u30fbIf you want to customise and select new furniture for the household by yourself.
\n\u30fbIf you have no plans in moving within the period of 2 years.<\/p>\n

\u203b General rental is recommended for those people who plan to live in apartment and condominium for 2 years or long term. <\/p>\n

\n

What is a furnished apartments?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"rental-difference1\"<\/p>\n

A furnished apartment is a room set with all necessary goods required for daily life such as air conditioner, bed, television, washing machine, refrigerator and other appliances.
\nIt is a new style rental apartment which can help to reduce the initial cost which it takes at the time of moving in. It is not costly or troublesome to move, when entering or leaving.<\/p>\n

The monthly rent is about 20-30% higher than general lease apartment. However, it doesn\u2019t necessary to pay additional expenses for moving and buying furniture or home electronics.<\/p>\n

Since a furnished lease is an annual contract, rent is cheap and economical, compared with the monthly apartment.
\nIt is suitable for lease within six months to two years.<\/p>\n

It is recommended for a person with regards to these below circumstances.<\/strong>
\n\u30fbThose who want to keep the initial cost cheap, at the time of move-in.
\n\u30fbMid-term transfer (etc) of the businessman.
\n\u30fbThose who are thinking about living alone in one or two years.
\n\u30fbThose who would like to try living alone.
\n\u30fbAs a temporary residence while building or renovating home.
\n\u30fbSenior generation thinking of the long stay in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

\u203b Recommended for people thinking about renting around half a year to 2 years. The furnished property is more advantageous than the monthly apartment rent.<\/p>\n

\n

What is the monthly apartments?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"rental-difference2\"<\/p>\n

The charm of a monthly apartment is that you can contract in a short time according to purpose and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Furniture, household appliances, and more, are all available at the time of moving, so it is possible to move in with only one bag. Besides that, deposit, key money, and guarantor are also unnecessary. However, it becomes a monthly contract, the rent will be about 2.5 times to 3 times that of general rental.
\nThe minimum length of stay is at least one month. However, after the initial month, you can extend your lease on a weekly or daily basis. <\/p>\n

If you want to use it as a short term rental apartment from 1 month to half a year, it is much better than a business hotel.<\/p>\n

It is recommended for a person with regards to these below circumstances.<\/strong>
\n\u30fbFor business trips, training of business men.
\n\u30fbAs a base for job hunting for university students.
\n\u30fbOffice workers, foreigners, temporary returnees for the purpose of staying in the short to medium term.
\n\u30fbFor short-term stays of business trips or training or university entrance examination.
\n\u30fbAs a company house or employee dormitory.
\n\u30fbAs a small office of independent entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

\u203b Recommend to those who think about staying about from a month to half year. The rent will be expensive if this time exceeds longer than half a year.
