Alquilar y comprar vivienda en Japón: alquileres típicos, depósitos, contratos y normas oficiales de arrendamiento.
Renting in Japan involves substantial upfront costs beyond rent — a deposit (shikikin), key money (reikin), an agency fee and usually a guarantor or guarantor company. Leases fall under the Act on Land and Building Leases, and real-estate transactions are overseen by MLIT. There is no nationality restriction on renting or owning property.
- Move-in costs often total four to six months' rent (deposit + key money + agency fee + first month + guarantor fee).
- Most tenants use a guarantor company (hoshō-gaisha); some landlords still require a Japanese guarantor.
- There is no nationality restriction on buying property, though financing is harder without residency.
