Initial costs are kept manageable as no security deposit (敷金) or agency commission is required, though a one-month gift money (礼金) is applicable. Other initial costs include fire insurance (¥13,130 to ¥26,680 for two years), an initial guarantee entrustment fee (100% to 120% of total rent for personal contracts), a key replacement fee of ¥16,500 (first time only), and a move-out cleaning fee of ¥41,800 paid upon move-in.

The application process supports both personal and corporate contracts, with documents like ID and proof of employment required. Minors or unemployed individuals require a joint guarantor. The leasing agent highlights that electronic application and remote contract signing are possible. It is important to note that photos and floor plans may show reversed or differently colored rooms of the same type, with the actual condition taking priority. Furniture and appliance brands vary by room, and rooms on the second floor and above have carpeting. As furnished properties are popular, viewings of occupied units may not be possible, but viewings of similar model rooms can be arranged. As a special offer from Ierite, upon contract conclusion, a gift of daily necessities and sanitary goods equivalent to 10% of the monthly rent is provided.
