The agent provides comprehensive notes on the rental process and special campaigns. With "Good Room Net," first-time renters can feel at ease. Key advantages include no need for a joint guarantor, smooth procedures, online contracts without a store visit, and the ability to pay initial and monthly fees by credit card, where accumulated points can be used for rent payments. They accommodate individuals, corporations, and corporate housing agencies, offer 24-hour management for peace of mind after moving in, and have no short-term cancellation penalties, making it recommended for those relocating or changing residences.
There are two notable campaigns. First, a referral campaign: if a referred person moves into a property managed by the company, the referrer receives a 22,000 yen (tax included) gift. Even if they move into a non-managed property, a 5,000 yen QUO card is gifted (prior referral registration is required). Second, a rent discount campaign: by creating a designated credit card and using it for rent payments, the first month's rent is discounted by 10,000 yen. Furthermore, accumulated points can be used for rent payments. These are exclusive campaigns made possible because it's a group-managed property.
Important application notes: to prevent trouble, expressions of interest are only accepted by phone. The room is secured after screening documents and procedures are completed. Cancellations after application due to customer circumstances are discouraged. Monthly payments consist of rent, common area fees, parking fees (when used), a 330 yen 24-hour support fee, a guarantee commission of 2.2% or 2.5% of the rent, and a 170 yen collection fee. Initial cost estimates include previous rent, move-in costs, pro-rated rent for the move-in month, and fire insurance. Move-in costs include key money, cleaning fees, agency commission, parking contract fees (when used), guarantee commission, a 3,300 yen key set fee, and other optional costs. Fire insurance is billed after moving in. Estimates are approximate and may differ from actual amounts.
For viewings: for new properties, viewings are possible after building completion. For properties with a scheduled move-out, applications often come in immediately after listing begins, so early consideration is recommended. Listed photos may be of reversed or similar rooms.
