자주 묻는 질문
Can foreigners rent an apartment in Japan?
Yes. While some landlords may prefer Japanese tenants, many apartments are available to foreign residents. Using a guarantor company and having stable income documentation can improve your chances. Agencies specializing in foreigner-friendly properties can help.
What is key money (reikin) and is it refundable?
Key money (礼金 / reikin) is a traditional "thank you" payment to the landlord. It is NOT refundable. The amount is typically 0-2 months' rent. Some newer properties or those with longer vacancy may waive key money.
How much should I expect to pay upfront?
Typically 4-6 times the monthly rent, covering deposit, key money, agent fee, first month's rent, guarantor fee, and fire insurance. For a 70,000 yen/month apartment, expect initial costs of 280,000-420,000 yen.
What is a guarantor company?
A guarantor company (保証会社) acts as your rent guarantor when you do not have a Japanese co-signer. They charge an initial fee (50-100% of monthly rent) and annual renewals (10,000-20,000 yen). Most landlords accept guarantor companies in place of personal guarantors.
