Now that you’re familiar with “WHAT YOU NEED” to sign a rental agreement in Japan, let’s go through how to find that perfect apartment in Japan.

Here are 4 basic steps to save you both time and effort.

——————————————————————————————–

1. PLAN
   How much can you afford to pay as your monthly rent? A general rule of thumb is to look for an apartment that doesn’t exceed a third of your monthly income. For example, if your monthly income is 300,000 yen, you probably wouldn’t want to rent an apartment that is more than 100,000 yen per month.
   How much room do you need? In general, apartments in Japan are smaller than western style apartments. The layout also differs significantly.
   What type of the room do you want?
   How many people are going to live with you?
