Special notes from the agent indicate that pets are negotiable ("ペット相談") and the property is classified as a resort property ("リゾート物件"). An important remark ("備考1") details that the renewal fee is equivalent to one month of the new rent ("【更新料：新賃料 1ヵ月 】"). Additional monthly costs include a management fee of 20,000 yen and a small short-term insurance of 26,000 yen every two years. A home meister fee of 19,800 yen, indoor antibacterial/deodorizing fee of 11,000 yen, and a contract handling fee of 5,500 yen are listed as one-time costs. A rent guarantee company is required, with an initial guarantee fee of 100% of the rent, an annual fee of 10,000 yen, and a monthly handling fee of 350 yen (the initial guarantee fee is 50%). There is no key money, but a security deposit of one month's rent is required.
The location is highly convenient, within a 5-minute walk from the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line's Nishi-Waseda Station, an 8-minute walk from the Tokyo Toden Arakawa Line's Omokagebashi Station, and an 11-minute walk from the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line's Takadanobaba Station. The area around Nishi-Waseda is part of the historic and academic Waseda district, known for its prestigious university. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Toden Arakawa Line is Tokyo's last remaining tram line, offering a charming, nostalgic ride through the city's older neighborhoods. The closest major landmark is the iconic Tokyo Dome City complex in Bunkyo Ward, a short train ride away, featuring a stadium, amusement park, and hot spring spa.
