Critical agent notes regarding equipment and fees have been fully translated. The apartment is equipped with all Western-style rooms. Important financial notes include: The initial guarantee company commission is 31,570 yen and up (varies by the guarantee company). A mandatory Life Support fee of 1,100 yen per month applies. A flat-rate water fee of 2,000 yen per month is charged from the first month. The brokerage fee is one month's rent (plus parking fee) plus consumption tax. If the floor plan or photos differ from the actual condition, the actual condition takes precedence. The guarantee commission is 70% of the total rent at contract time and 1% monthly thereafter, though this may change depending on contract details. Life Support membership is mandatory (1,100 yen/month), prorated for both move-in and move-out months. As this is a fixed-term lease contract, a 16,500 yen (tax included) administrative fee applies upon renewal. Cancellation during the contract period incurs a penalty. A fee of 3,300 yen (tax included) is charged for issuing a parking space certificate if required. The contract requires one joint guarantor (within 3 degrees of kinship, under 65 years old, with income).
The Ameku area is highly convenient, with the Ameku bus stop just a 3-minute walk away and easy access to National Route 58. An interesting local fact is that the nearby Ameku Sports Land provides recreational facilities for residents. The area is also within reasonable distance of major Okinawan attractions, such as the vibrant Kokusai Dori (International Street) in central Naha, known for its shopping, dining, and nightlife.
