Critical agent notes regarding fees and conditions have been translated in detail: At contract signing, costs include prorated rent for the current month and the following month's rent, fire insurance (13,130 to 26,680 yen for 2 years), a guarantee deposit (100-120% of monthly rent for personal contracts, subject to change based on screening), a key replacement fee of 16,500 yen (tax included), a move-out cleaning fee of 41,800 yen (tax included), optional resident support system plus (18,975 yen tax included), and optional antibacterial treatment (18,040 yen tax included).

Optional unlimited internet plans start at 2,640 yen per month.

Required application documents are an application form, personal identification, and proof of income.
The agent highlights several key points: no security deposit or agency commission reduces initial costs; water charges are included in the rent; furniture and appliances are replaced free of charge in case of breakdown (excluding cases of resident negligence); the video intercom provides peace of mind; and procedures from electronic application to contract are available for those outside the prefecture. Important notes: the contract is primarily electronic, requiring smartphone operation by the applicant; rooms on the second floor and above have carpeting, not flooring; furniture and appliance brands vary by room; photos may be of a similar layout unit, so an actual viewing is recommended; parking space availability is not guaranteed and is on a first-come, first-served basis; and a penalty of one month's rent applies for moving out within the first year.
