Affordable Pet-Friendly Apartment in Okinawa City with Convenient Access
This 1K apartment in Okinawa City's Hiyagon district offers a practical and budget-friendly living solution, particularly suitable for pet owners. The monthly rent is 33,000 JPY, with an additional 3,000 JPY common area maintenance fee. The unit is compact, with a private floor area of approximately 17 square meters, and is situated on the 3rd floor of a 4-story reinforced concrete (RC) building constructed in 2020. The property comes equipped with propane gas, a unit bath with a bathtub, and air conditioning.
Critical agent notes provide essential details for prospective tenants. The current resident is scheduled to vacate on January 5, 2026 (R8.1/5). Viewing appointments will only be accepted by phone after the unit is vacated. Please note that photos and videos are for illustrative purposes only, and the status of the air conditioning unit requires confirmation after the current tenant moves out (the current condition takes priority). Applications may be declined depending on inquiry volume. It is possible to apply without an in-person viewing. While applicants with complete documentation will be prioritized, multiple applications received on the same day will undergo simultaneous screening.
Initial costs are detailed and must be considered. In addition to a security deposit of one month's rent and a key money (reikin) of zero months, there are several other one-time fees: a building maintenance management fee of 1,000 JPY per month, mandatory fire insurance of 7,000 JPY per year, and a key replacement fee starting from 27,500 JPY per key (variable depending on the type). The agency commission is equivalent to one month's rent plus the parking fee (plus consumption tax). Mandatory screening and enrollment with a rent guarantee company (Zenkaren Corporation) is required, with an initial cost of 50% of one month's rent (approximately 14,000 JPY, renewed annually). A guarantor is necessary—one person residing in the prefecture, under 65 years old, and employed. The application process is conducted electronically via SNS after initial contact. The managing agent, CUBE Goya Branch, accepts calls only on Wednesdays and Sundays (no viewings on these days).
Pet conditions are explicitly outlined. Pets are negotiable with the landlord, but an additional pet security deposit is mandatory: one month's rent for a dog, and two months' rent for a cat. A maximum of two pets is allowed.
