WHY HOMES

Why corporate managers choose HOMES

01What a Japanese lease usually costs, waived for corporate clients

Early termination terms

Even on a 1-year contract, the early-exit penalty is ¥0

A typical Japanese lease requires you to pay rent for the remaining term if you move out early, unless there are special circumstances. With a HOMES corporate contract, even if you sign a long contract at the long-term discounted rate, you can terminate without penalty if you move out early for company reasons such as reassignment, project end, or withdrawal.

※ Details follow the contract.

Typically in Japan

Key money of 1–2 months' rent at signing, not refundable Agency fee of 1 month's rent plus consumption tax

Guarantor company fee of 0.5–1 month's rent Or a Japan-resident joint guarantor

Contract in the resident's personal name A replacement means a new contract and screening

HOMES corporate contract

No key money and no agency fee

You contract with HOMES directly, so there is nothing to prepare besides rent at signing.

No guarantor company or joint guarantor

Even companies with no ties in Japan can contract without a guarantee process.

Residents are not named on the contract

The company is the contracting party, so the next employee moves in as-is when assignees change.

02Why HR and admin have less to do

Expenses in one line
The company pays monthly rent only, so it posts directly as a welfare expense. Qualified invoices are issued to the corporation.
Contract without naming residents
The company is the contracting party. When assignees change, the next employee moves in without a new contract.
Auto-debit from a corporate account
No personal cards or cash reimbursement. The monthly amount is withdrawn automatically from your registered corporate account.
Residence registration (jūminhyō) available
It is a formal lease, so residence registration is possible and visa renewals or other paperwork proceed normally.
One point of contact
Even across several branches, one dedicated corporate manager handles everything.
Fully furnished
Fridge, washer, bed, wardrobe and other essentials are already in place. No need to buy furniture or arrange move-in and move-out.

SORT IT ALL OUT WITH HOMES

If this sounds like you, HOMES can sort it all at once

Employees on assignment for a month or more, each needing housing arranged separately every time
Long stays, business trips, training, and workshops all mixed together, and you want a single channel for them
Several people dispatched together as a project team, each with their own room but staying in one place
Employee housing managed on the side by general affairs or HR, and you want fewer tasks to begin with
