The rental contract is for a standard 2-year term with no renewal fee. However, tenants are required to join a rental guarantee program (initial fee: 50% to 100% of one month's total rent) and purchase fire insurance (approximately 15,000 yen for 2 years). Please note that a cancellation fee applies for contracts terminated before two years. A one-time cleaning fee of 38,500 yen is charged upon moving out, and key replacement costs start from 16,500 yen.
The area is a quiet residential district with no building directly in front of the property, offering an unobstructed view and no sense of压迫感.
