欢迎外国人承租的房源

You have access to apartments not previously available to non-Japanese tenants. This is because you will be subleasing the apartment from the GaijinPot Housing Service. We have already received permission from the owners of these units to sublease them to non-Japanese, so your nationality will never be a factor in whether your application is accepted or rejected.

免担保人

You do not have to have a guarantor or use a guarantor company. Almost all landlords and property managers in Japan require tenants to name a guarantor or a guarantor company to vouch for you when you are renting an apartment. For many newcomers to Japan (and even many long-timers) it can be difficult to find a qualified guarantor. Guarantor companies usually charge a one-time fee of 80% to 100% of your Total Monthly Rent to guarantee you as a tenant. However, when you rent an apartment through the Housing Service we will not ask you for a guarantor, so this is not an extra cost you have to worry about.

使用信用卡支付租金

We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express or JCB credit/debit cards issued in Japan or overseas. Please be aware that we do not accept payment via bank transfer, cash, ATM card, or cash card. SMBC cards and prepaid debit cards sometimes do not work with our online payment system.

The initial registration fee is equal to 50% of your Total Monthly Rent (+ 10% consumption tax), with a minimum fee of ¥30,000. There is also a monthly subleasing fee, equal to 8% of your Total Monthly Rent (+ 10% consumption tax).

英语服务

Full English support during the room view. We will provide you with English phone support during your room view. Ask any questions you have about the apartment in English, and we will interpret for you!

In addition, all contracts are in English so you do not have to be able to read or write Japanese to rent an apartment through the GaijinPot Housing Service

English support until you move out. Included in the GaijinPot Housing Service is our English concierge service. We will provide phone- and/or email-based support for any apartment- related issues that may come up while you are renting the apartment. For example, if your kitchen drain gets clogged or your A/C stops running, we will deal with setting up the appointments with the repair person who will come to your home.

Online contract signing

There are a lot of documents involved in signing a lease contract for an apartment in Japan. Save time and streamline the process by doing it online. The GaijinPot Housing Service is currently the only foreigner housing service offering online lease signing to foreign applicants. We want to help make your move as hassle-free as possible.
