Compact and Cost-Effective Apartment in a Quiet Matsuyama Neighborhood
This rental apartment in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, offers a practical and affordable living solution, particularly suited for single occupants or those on a temporary assignment. The monthly rent is a budget-friendly 16,000 JPY, with a monthly common area maintenance fee of 2,000 JPY. A significant financial advantage is the absence of key money (reikin) and security deposit (shikikin), coupled with a one-month free rent period, making initial moving costs exceptionally low.

The apartment is noted for being well-equipped with ample storage space, including a wardrobe and drawer storage. It comes with lighting fixtures, air conditioning, and a unit bath with a shower.

Additional monthly costs include a town fee of 300 JPY. A one-time key replacement fee starts from 15,400 JPY, and a cleaning fee of 35,000 JPY is charged upon moving out.
