Additional remarks from the agent indicate that viewing the property requires scheduling an appointment. The agent, Kinjo Real Estate, offers flexible viewing times, including outside regular hours, Sundays, and holidays, by prior appointment. Important cautions include: applications are generally processed in the order the application forms are received; the actual condition of the property takes precedence over floor plans; applicants must verify parking space availability and specific parking stall assignments; the management company and guarantee company will conduct a tenant screening; and fire (household goods) insurance is compulsory.
