Other initial costs include: pro-rated rent for the current month and next month's rent; fire insurance (13,130 to 26,680 yen for 2 years); a guarantee commission fee (100-120% of monthly rent for personal contracts, subject to change based on screening); key exchange fee (16,500 yen); move-out cleaning fee (41,800 yen); optional Resident Support System Plus (18,975 yen); and optional antibacterial treatment fee (18,040 yen).

The agent highlights several points: the property is move-in ready with furniture and appliances; a guarantor is generally not required; the lack of security deposit and brokerage fee keeps initial costs low; water charges are included in the common area fee; broken appliances can be replaced for free (in cases of no fault); the roofed bicycle parking is free; the monitor intercom provides security; and electronic application and contract procedures are available for those outside the prefecture. Important notes: contracts are primarily electronic, requiring smartphone use from application to key receipt; rooms on the 2nd floor and above have carpet, not flooring; furniture and appliance brands vary by room; photos are of a similar layout unit, and the actual condition takes precedence; repair costs for tenant-caused damage may be charged separately; a penalty of one month's rent applies for moving out within the first year; and parking space availability is not guaranteed.
