Co-op Asahi 302: A Rental Apartment in Okinawa with a Unique Zero-Initial-Cost Plan

A key feature of this listing is the agent's exclusive D-ZERO plan. By enrolling in this plan for a monthly membership fee of 2,200 JPY, the standard initial move-in costs are waived. Furthermore, if the tenant resides for four years or more, the end-of-tenancy house cleaning fee is also free. The agent provides a detailed cost comparison: under a standard contract, initial costs including deposit, rent guarantee fee, agency commission, and key replacement fee would total 118,825 JPY. With the D-ZERO plan, these initial costs are 0 JPY, as the first month's rent is also free. The agent notes that this represents a saving of 118,825 JPY compared to a standard contract.
