Hello! This is Willow Inc., here to fully support your new start in Japan.
“I have to move out of my student dorm soon… but I haven’t found a new room yet!”
“My move-out date is getting closer, and I have no idea how to even start looking for an apartment…”
Are you feeling overwhelmed with panic and anxiety right now? It’s understandable. When you think about the major hurdles of renting in Japan, like the “guarantor problem” and complex contracts, it’s easy to feel lost and unsure where to begin.
But please, don’t worry. You still have plenty of time!
We wrote this article specifically for you—someone who is facing an urgent dorm move-out deadline. As professionals in real estate for foreigners, we will explain a smooth and stress-free way to find an apartment that you can start on today.
Why Finding an Apartment After a Dorm is a “Race Against Time”
Student dorms usually have a fixed date by which you must move out. This means you have to find a new room, sign the contract, and complete your move all before that date, which often results in a very tight schedule.
In Japan, the standard rental process—from application, screening, contract, to getting the keys—can take 2 weeks to 1 month, even if everything goes smoothly. If the screening process gets delayed because of the guarantor issue or paperwork problems, it can take even longer.
That is why starting your search even one day sooner is the key to securing your new home before your deadline.
[The Biggest Hurdle] “I Don’t Have a Guarantor…” Willow Will Solve This!
For international students with no relatives in Japan, finding a guarantor is nearly impossible. And time and time again, we see students get rejected from apartments for this very reason.
But we at Willow exist to solve this exact problem. Many of the properties Willow offers can be rented even if you don’t have a guarantor.
You should never have to give up on finding a home where you can live and study in peace just because of the guarantor system.
