Special notes from the agent provide crucial details on the rental terms. The initial rent is a remarkably low 10,000 yen per month for the first six months, inclusive of management fees and water charges. After this six-month period, the rent increases to 27,000 yen per month with an additional 2,000 yen for water charges. There is no key money (reikin) or security deposit (shikikin). However, a short-term cancellation penalty applies: cancellation within the first year is not permitted, and moving out before two years incurs a penalty equivalent to four months' rent. Other costs include a mandatory insurance fee of 16,000 yen for two years and a mandatory rental guarantee fee (60% of the first month's rent initially, then 12,000 yen upon renewal). Upon moving out, a house cleaning fee of 33,000 yen is required. The agent also clarifies that the photographs provided are of a different room and are for reference only.
