agencies.
① A guarantor company insures the landlord against things like non-payment of rentor repair expenses, so you can rent an apartment even without an individual as
your guarantor.
② An interpreter can be dispatched to help solve landlord-tenant problems.
③ 35% of one month’s rent (plus common-area fee) pays for a 2-year contract.
④ You’ll also have to buy a 2-year renter’s insurance plan.
