Find/rent housing

Private rental housing in Japan has property-specific screening, costs, documents and lease terms. BRIDGE should help you understand the process and what a specific property asks for — not assume every landlord or agency uses the same requirements.

What BRIDGE can tell you now

What to check

✓Confirm the total move-in budget, not only the monthly rent. Initial charges can include several separate items depending on the property and contract.
✓Ask the agency or landlord exactly which documents and guarantor / guarantee arrangements apply to that application.

Important

Property availability and screening decisions are made by the landlord/agency. BRIDGE can help with understanding and communication but cannot promise approval.
