Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rent without a visa?

A copy of your passport’s photo page is usually required. A visa is not always required, but the owner may ask for additional documents. We’ll confirm the requirements for the property you’re considering.

Do I need a guarantor?

Documentation and guarantee requirements vary by owner and property. We confirm the terms of the property you select.

When will my deposit be refunded?

Refund timing and deductions depend on the contract, move-out checks and any outstanding costs.

Can I leave before the tenancy ends?

Early termination depends on the agreement. Check notice periods, fees and deposit treatment before signing.

What should I do if a problem arises after move-in?

Start by sending us details and photographs of the issue. We will check the contract and the scope of support. If you would like help with housing matters in Japanese, you can use the separate Japanese-language support service.
