Maison Arakaki Unit 302: A Pet-Friendly Apartment in Naha
This rental apartment, Unit 302 in the Maison Arakaki building, offers a comfortable and convenient lifestyle in Naha City, Okinawa. The property features a popular all-Western-style 2DK layout, providing two separate rooms and a dining-kitchen area. A key advantage is its pet-friendly policy, allowing residents to live with their animal companions. The location is highly convenient, situated along a main road with convenience stores and supermarkets within walking distance.
The apartment is equipped with city gas. Important financial notes have been provided by the agent. The security deposit and key money are both zero, significantly reducing initial moving costs. The monthly rent is 45,000 yen with a 2,000 yen monthly common area fee. The agent's commission is equivalent to one month's rent plus consumption tax. The estimated initial costs may vary slightly depending on the move-in date due to prorated rent. The floor plan and photos are for reference, and the actual condition of the property takes precedence.
This is a fixed-term lease contract for two years. A guarantee company is required. The initial guarantee commission fee is approximately 33,670 yen (varies by company), with a monthly fee of 1% of the total rent. Enrollment in a "Life Support" service is mandatory at a cost of 1,100 yen per month, prorated for the months of move-in and move-out. Upon contract renewal, an administrative fee of 16,500 yen (tax included) will be charged. Early termination of the contract within the lease period will incur a penalty fee. If keeping a pet, an additional one-month pet security deposit is required.
The area of Naha is the vibrant capital of Okinawa Prefecture, rich in history and culture. An interesting fact is that Naha was almost completely destroyed during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 and has since been meticulously rebuilt. The closest major landmark is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Shuri Castle, the former palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, located approximately a 15-minute drive from the property.
