Critical agent notes have been translated for full transparency. The property is offered with a free rent period. However, if the contract is terminated within the first year of utilizing this free rent, a penalty of two months' rent applies. Upon moving out, a cleaning fee of 55,000 yen (tax included) is charged. A guarantee company is required, with an initial fee of 50% of one month's rent (or 80% if paying rent by credit card), followed by a monthly fee of 1% (with a minimum guarantee fee of 880 yen per month); there is no annual renewal fee for this service.

The monthly costs are straightforward with a rent of 57,000 yen and a management/common area fee of 5,000 yen. There is no security deposit (敷金) and no key money (礼金). The standard contract period is two years.
The Yagiri area of Matsudo offers a pleasant residential atmosphere with good transit access to central Tokyo. An interesting local fact is that the area is historically known for the "Yagiri no Watashi," a traditional ferry crossing over the Edo River that has been immortalized in Japanese literature and ukiyo-e art. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Kawamura Memorial Museum of Art in nearby Ichikawa, which houses a significant collection of modern Japanese paintings and offers a serene garden setting.
