Effects of Accepting Foreign Residents
First, let us introduce the various benefits that Japanese real estate can gain by accepting foreign tenants.
1. Stable occupancy rate
As the number of foreigners and foreign students working in Japan is increasing, the occupancy rate will be stabilized by accepting foreigners.
2. Easy to secure the next tenant
Increases the likelihood that a foreigner currently residing in the property will introduce you to other prospective tenants.
3. Contracts are more likely to be signed even at relatively high rents.
Since foreign workers and foreign students have a network among foreigners, it is highly likely that tenants will be found even if the rent is slightly higher than the market rate.
Because of this effect, there are many real estate agencies actively accepting foreign tenants.
Reasons why it is difficult to sign a lease contract with a foreign tenant
The effects we have just described show that Japanese real estate is actively working to accommodate foreign tenants.
However, when it comes to actually signing a lease, there are several difficulties. Here are four bullet points that can cause problems.
Communication in Japanese is sometimes difficult.
There are few candidates for guarantors.
It is difficult to prove solvency.
Difficult to deal with in case of sudden return to Japan, etc.
These are the four points that are considered problems when signing a lease contract. However, if these problems are solved, the lease contract will be executed smoothly, so let’s solve these problems one by one.
Two portal sites to find Japanese real estate for foreigners
Now, we would like to introduce two portal sites where you can search for Japanese real estate for foreigners, which will be the main focus of this article.
Here we will introduce two sites.
1. ii-room net
Source: [Iii-Room Net] Searching for rental apartments and condominiums｜Daito Kento Leasing (eheya.net)
Ii-Room.net is one of the most famous websites used by Japanese people.
It has the No. 1 track record in terms of rental contracts, has a low renewal fee, is easy to pass the screening process, and introduces affiliated moving companies that offer special rates and gifts.
2.wagaya Japan
wagaya Japan offers one of the largest real estate information services for foreigners in Japan. Since wagaya Japan also handles properties without guarantors, potential joint guarantors, one of the problems foreigners face when signing a rental contract in Japan, are not a problem.
One thing these two sites have in common is that they are available in a variety of languages, including English, Chinese, and Korean, so even those who have difficulty with Japanese can search for real estate in a language that suits them.
Although some Japanese communication is required to actually go to a real estate agency to sign a contract, preliminary research on the Internet will be much easier.
Conclusion
Thank you for reading to the end.
