Critical rental terms are detailed in the agent's remarks. This is a fixed-term rental contract (定期借家) of the renewal type, with a standard contract period of two years. For short-term use, a key money (礼金) equivalent to one month's rent is required. The property cannot be used for minpaku (private lodging services). An update fee, equivalent to one month of the new rent, is applicable upon renewal. Further details are available upon inquiry. Other financial terms include a security deposit (敷金) of two months' rent, no key money (礼金) for standard contracts, a monthly management fee of 30,000 yen, and a requirement to join a rent guarantee company covering 50% of the combined rent and management fee for two years. Insurance is mandatory.
The area of Ochiai in Shinjuku is a charming blend of residential calm and urban accessibility. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Zenpukuji River, which flows through the area, is one of Tokyo's few remaining natural rivers with a largely unlined, green corridor, offering a rare slice of nature in the metropolis. The closest major landmark is the historic and picturesque Meiji Jingu Gaien (Meiji Jingu Outer Garden), famous for its ginkgo tree-lined avenue, sports facilities, and the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery, located approximately a 15-minute drive or a short train ride away.
