I found about the agency while speaking with a friend.
I will definitely recommend the agency to friends seeking accommodation in Tokyo.
Thank you for the warm welcome and the assistance.
Manami-san helped me get the best apartment!
Manami-san was very approachable and was very friendly.
She spoke really good English and helped me get the best apartment possible.
I am very satisfied and would recommend this agency!
After I got calls from many agencies, to be honest Balleggs was the only one that gave me the attention I needed as a customer who’s looking for a new place.
Iwata-san was more than helpful in the process of looking, finding and renting my new flat.
What you need for the application.
Hello!
Today, I will explain what you at least need for the application to the apartment.
Usually, after you decide an apartment,
the process goes like this:
Apply to the apartment
↓
Scanning process (at the owner side)
↓
Once you pass through the scanning process…
↓
Confirm about all the information about the apartment
↓
Pay the initial fee
Sign the contract paper.
And when you ‘APPLY’ to the apartment,
these are what you usually need:
1. Copy of your ID (residence card)
2. A document that can proof your income (Work certification, pay slip for 3 months, etc…)
If you don’t have these,
the apply tend to be not accepted by the owner side.
The apartment will be on the market until the apply is accepted by the owner,
it would be better if you can prepare all the documents beforehand : )
But sometimes, there is a situation that you cannot prepare the documents above.
Let us know in that case!
We are very professional in this,
we can find a way to solve it.
Thank you!
How you throw away the garbage in Japan…!
Did you know that there is a rule to throw away the garbage in Japan?
There is a rule that everyone follow in the area- to make the community organized and clean. (-And is nice to the earth too : )haha )
It depends on the area where you live,
But usually you have to throw the garbage away in a particular date.
For example, where I live is…..
(1) Every Wednesday, Saturday… Burnable
(2) Every Friday… Recycle
(3) First and Fourth Monday… Unburnable
Like this : )
It’s not that there is a penalty when you didn’t follow the rule,
But if you didn’t follow the rule, it will cause all the people who live in the area (and even yourself) a big trouble. And it will make the area a not good one.
That’s the point.
We got to cooperate and communicate each other, to make our life nice and comfortable.
It’s where you live, so let’s make the town you live a nice and clean, friendly one : )
I am satisfied with the provided service!

Manami-san has been an amazing help!
As a first-time resident and college student in Japan,I was very nervous about the apartment process,but Manami-san and the staff of BALLEGGS made it easy and very understandable.
It was also very quick.
Thanks to Fukudome-san to find me a good apartment

Before you have a contract… what you need to prepare!
Hello!
How was your Valentine’s day?
Tokyo was full of VALENTINE’S DAY and CHOCOLATES…!
Well for me, I gave one to my dad ;P
This ‘Valentine’s day’ might be a JAPANESE culture.
Anyway.
When you have a contract in Japan,
usually you need to have a HANKO to sign the papers.
Ever heard of it?
‘HANKO’
It’s a stamp of your name.
And in Japan, instead of signing the paper you need to put the stamp on it.
So after you decided where to live-
before you sign the paper,
you need to prepare your HANKO!
Do you know how to make one?
Leave it to us!
We can help you do all the process to make a HANKO too.
And of course you can use the HANKO to other contracts – other than the apartment contract too.
I know it is really a ‘Japanese’ traditional culture,
but we will do our best support to help you get used to it ; )!
Feel free to contact us for further details!
The service and staff of Balleggs is…
FAST&PROMPT SERVICE, FRIEND&ACCOMMODATING STAFF 😉
We are very thankful!
She has been very responsive and helpful.
More importantly she has always been very cheerful despite all the obstacles and made the process very peaceful and easy.
After you moved in… what you need to do to settle your new life!
Hello!
Hope you all are doing well ; )
It is starting to get slightly warmer these days in Tokyo…
Spring may come… soon? (A month to go!)
After you found a room,
Moved into your new place,
And what do you need? To set up your new life?
Electricity- sure you need.
Water- yes sure.
Gas- yup necessary, for your hot water to take a bath!
And …
INTERNET!!!
Can you imagine your life WITHOUT an internet line?
Me, no. I cannot.
To contact my family, friends, search something, view websites online and do your work…
Internet line is now 100% necessary for our life.
But to set up the line, connect to your laptop…
I know it is quite complicated.
Well, it was a mess for me.
But don’t worry!
We can of course help you set up the internet too.
We’re a real estate agent,
But our job is not only to find you the best flat.
We of course will help you start up your new life at the new flat!
So please feel free to ask us anything about the life in Japan/ Tokyo.
Looking forward to see you soon!
Thank you.
