For those looking to keep initial costs down and start living right away, TOKYO β Toneri 11 is currently running a campaign where the administrative fee and first month's rent are 0 yen.
Normally, a move-in administrative fee of 30,000 yen applies, but this initial cost is waived during the campaign period. In addition to requiring no deposit, key money, or guarantor, the monthly costs are 33,000 yen for rent and 16,500 yen for the common service fee, which covers utilities, consumables, and more.
This campaign helps significantly reduce your initial moving expenses.
