can’’t find a guarantor toForeigners trying to rent an apartment sometimes cancoco-sign their lease. Kawasaki City uses designated guarantor companies to help
people who find apartments through participating real estate agencies.
① A guarantor company insures the landlord against things like non-payment of rent
or repair expenses, so you can rent an apartment even without a humanguarantor.
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.
