Today, we’re going to write about the necessary documents you need to bring along for your rental contract in Japan.

Usually, documents below are necessary for foreigners to rent a house in Japan.

• Passport
• Residence Card (住民票 – Juminhyo)
• Letter of Employment with Salary Information (在籍証明書 – Zaisekishomeisho)
• Japanese Tax Documents, if applicable (源泉徴収表 – Gensenchoshuhyo), including your income certificate
• Affidavit of financial support (from your guarantor)
• Guarantor Certificate（証明書）including their signature stamp（印鑑）

We understand the amount of paperwork to rent an apartment in Japan can be both time consuming and stressful. The documents required vary on a case by case basis and is largely dependent on the landlords requirements. For example, some properties may only require a guarantor company while others may need a Japanese guarantor.

We, BALLEGGS, always aim to put your needs first and provide a holistic approach to your rental-housing needs in Japan so you can focus on enjoying your life in your new home.
