How to rent an apartment in Japan

Procedure for Renting a Property in Japan

  1. Property Search Inform the real estate agency of your desired area and conditions to receive recommendations for suitable properties.
  1. Application for Property Apply for the desired property. The application needs to be submitted from the real estate agency to the property management company. Required documents include:
      • Residence Card
      • Passport
      • Certificate of employment (such as employee ID or job offer letter)
      • Emergency contact (a person residing in Japan who can be contacted in case of emergency)
      • Home country contact (contact information of family members in your home country)
      Note: Required information and documents may vary depending on the property. Please confirm the details with the real estate agency staff.
  1. Guarantor Company Screening A guarantor company designated by the property management or owner conducts a screening of the applicant's credit information and income. The screening process takes about 2 days to 1 week.
  1. Owner's Screening The property owner verifies and screens the applicant's information.
      2. ※Without passing the screenings in steps 3 and 4, it is not possible to proceed with the contract.
  1. Signing of Contract Upon passing the screenings, the applicant signs the contract with the property owner. During the contract signing, the real estate agency provides important information (detailed property description). Review the contract terms and payment conditions, and sign the contract.
  1. Confirmation of Move-In Date After completing the contract, the move-in date is confirmed. The move-in date is determined by mutual agreement between the applicant and the property management or owner.
  1. Key Handover The applicant receives the keys from the property management company before or on the move-in date.
  1. Moving On the move-in date, the applicant moves into the property. Make arrangements for moving services and utilities in advance.
