Advertisement on website: To recruit and attract tenants effectively, we will design and create individual webpages for your property, and list them on our website. We are well-known as a Kyo-Machiya specialist, and our Japanese website records around 350,000 page views per month. Many of our viewers are not just seeking for properties, but they have become avid followers of our website which is constantly updated and renewed with changes and/or information regarding our properties.
Contract with tenant: We will introduce and show your properties to prospective tenants. We also evaluate tenants, help you prepare contract documents, as well as explain important issues to tenants in advance, before the contract conclusion.

Conclude rental contract with tenant

Rent Collection: We will collect rent on your behalf from tenants monthly, and wire/transfer the proceeds to your bank account after deduction of our fees. In our management service, all of the tenants are required to make a guarantee contract with 4c's (external link).
Emergency Response: In case of emergency or troubles affecting your property or tenants, we respond to calls and take appropriate initial actions. If the need for construction requiring special skills and/or licenses arise, (related to plumbing, gas, electricity, etc.) we will introduce you to service providers. This service is available from 9:00AM to 6:00PM, Monday through Saturday, with the exception of our company holidays.

If the tenant is a Japanese speaker, he/she can contact Cosmo Maintenance (external link) directly 24-7.

End of rental

Vacating Procedure: We will communicate and discuss with tenants on your behalf, upon vacating, regarding restoring the property to its original state, money settlement, etc. After the tenants have vacated, we will then visit your property to confirm the state and situation.

Whyis weekly rental not available?

Under Japanese law, weekly or daily renting of a property is deemed to be a hotel business rather than residential house renting, and is subject to limitations of “Hotel Business Act”. This act demands the owner to install facilities specific to inns and hotels, such as emergency exit lights. In addition, owners of inns are subject to income tax, which must be paid monthly. This is too time-consuming for the manager. Therefore, our company only provides management services for residential houses with term of a month or more.
