Hey dear, I will answer your questions.
It might be very easy or very difficult for a foreigner to find a place to live in Japan. Finding housing won’t be a problem for you if you speak the language well, have a solid work, secure money, and possibly even a long-term visa that will ensure your stay in Japan.
You have 2 option:
1. Japanese real estate agency
2. Rental agency for foreigners
Let me explain both of the option for you.
1. Japanese real estate agency
Japanese agencies have a greater selection of possibilities, and rent is typically less expensive. You may quickly identify real estate agents by looking at the floor plans of the available apartments that can be seen in the windows.
You will be asked for a few private details if you want to go in person to a real estate agent. Be ready to search for a guarantor who will complete certain documents and agree to handle any problems on your behalf. In the event that the answer is a yes, you will be scheduled to visit the residence.
Signing the contract is the next step if you are satisfied with the property.
2. Rental agency for foreigners
Foreign rental agencies provide the option to sign a contract online before your arrival in Japan.
Rental agencies for foreigners offer a number of benefits:
· They provide multiple languages support, so you don’t have to be concerned about overlooking any important information.
· Compared to their Japanese counterparts, their contracts are far more flexible and may even provide one-month rents.
· The flats are frequently furnished, sometimes the internet and electricity bills are included in the rental price.
Before deciding on a more practical choice, it might also be wise to select one of these accommodations as a last-minute solution.
I hope this information will be helpful for you!
