Leonext Ma 205: A Furnished Apartment in Okinawa City
This rental apartment, unit 205 in the Leonext Ma building, offers a move-in-ready solution in Okinawa City's Chibana area. The property is a 1K layout with a total private area of 23.18 sqm (approximately 7.01 tsubo), featuring an all-Western-style room design and a dedicated indoor space for a washing machine. The building itself is a two-story reinforced concrete (RC) structure built in June 2015.
The listing is fully furnished and equipped, including appliances like an air conditioner, heater, washing machine, dryer, and television. The kitchen comes with an IH cooktop and a system kitchen. The bathroom and toilet are separate, and the toilet features a heated bidet seat. The unit includes a walk-in closet and a shoe box for storage, and the building uses propane gas. A notable feature is the monitor-equipped intercom, adding a layer of security.
A key advantage is the simplified move-in process. A guarantor is generally not required, and there is no security deposit (敷金) or agency fee, reducing initial costs. The monthly rent of 61,000 yen includes water charges. However, there is a key money (礼金) equivalent to one month's rent. A monthly common area fee (共益費) of 4,500 yen applies. Optional paid internet plans start from 2,640 yen per month. A covered bicycle parking area is available at no extra charge. Car parking is available for 5,500 yen per month, subject to availability.
The agent's notes provide detailed breakdowns of costs. Initial move-in costs include pro-rated first-month rent, next month's rent, fire insurance (from 19,890 yen for two years), a guarantee commission fee (100-120% of one month's rent for personal contracts, variable), key replacement fee (16,500 yen), end-of-contract cleaning fee (41,800 yen), and optional charges for an occupant support system (18,975 yen) and antibacterial treatment (18,040 yen). Monthly fees beyond rent include an environmental maintenance fee (550 yen) and a rent withdrawal handling charge (524 yen). Other periodic fees include an annual guarantee commission of 10,000 yen after the first year and a renewal fee of 16,500 yen every two years. Required application documents include an application form, personal identification, and proof of income.
