Critical agent notes provide essential rental details. The lease for this property is fixed-term and expires on August 31, 2027. No compensation is provided for moving costs or eviction fees upon departure. A full refund of the security deposit and a waiver of post-move-out cleaning fees are only granted for vacating during the maturity period (August 1 to 31, 2027). The brokerage commission is equivalent to one month's rent plus consumption tax. If the floor plan or photos differ from the actual condition, the current state takes precedence. A guarantee company is required, with an initial guarantee entrustment fee of 40,880 yen or more (varies by company) due at contract signing, which is 80% of the total rent amount. An annual guarantee entrustment fee of 10,000 yen also applies. Early termination during the contract period incurs a penalty. If a parking space certificate is issued, a 3,300 yen (tax included) fee for the storage location use consent form is charged. The contract requires one joint guarantor (within 3 degrees of kinship, under 65 years old, with income). A second parking space is not available.
The location is highly convenient, situated within a short walk from key transit points. Omoromachi Station on the Okinawa Urban Monorail (Yui Rail) is approximately a 4-minute walk away, providing easy access to Naha's commercial and entertainment hubs. The property also includes one free parking space for a kei car (light vehicle). The surrounding Makabi area is a popular residential neighborhood known for its accessibility. A notable landmark within the prefecture is Shuri Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site and reconstructed palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, located a short monorail ride away, offering a deep dive into Okinawa's unique history and culture.
