■Leasing Apartment to Market of International Students■
In the Tokyo area, there are approximately 50,000 international students do not live in dormitories, and search for apartment. Most universities in Tokyo accept international students in autumn, allowing for another peak season to lease your apartment during July to September, in addition to the peak season in spring. Japanese language schools in Tokyo accept international students 4 times a year, meaning demand for apartment comes 4 times a year!

■Minimizing Risks Associated with Leasing Tokyo Apartments to International Students■
In many cases where an international student borrows an apartment, Japanese language school or university that the student belongs to can become a guarantor. A system managed by the “Japan Educational Exchanges and Services (JEES)” called the “Comprehensive Renters Insurance for Foreign Students Studying in Japan,” provides financial backup for institutions to become guarantors of its international students for apartments leases. More specifically, this system combines property insurance and coverage for rent default. If international student causes property damage to Tokyo apartment owners and Tokyo apartment management companies due to accidents such as fire, or if a student does not pay rent for apartment, this system covers for the expenses.
There are other entities that provide apartment rent guarantee services. The difference between services offered by these entities and that by JEES is the fee that students pay for renting apartments. (JEES’s system costs 9,000 yen, and offers 2 years coverage for students.)
We recommend that Tokyo apartment owners and Tokyo apartment management companies utilize the“Comprehensive Renters Insurance for Foreign Students Studying in Japan” when leasing an apartment to an international student.
