【To Live in a Private Apartment】
1. Visit Uni. Co-op or local real estate agents 2. Look for a joint guarantor 3. Sign a contract
If you live in a private apartment, you basically need “a joint guarantor.”
＊Joint Guarantor・・・ This is the person who is obligated to make payments on behalf of the apartment renter (you) when the renter (you) fails to pay rent or defaces or destroys the apartment. When renting an apartment in Japan, the burden on the landlord can be very heavy if the landlord is unable to collect rent from the tenant (you) or other problems arise. Therefore, when renting an apartment in Japan, the apartment renter (you) is required to find a joint guarantor.
Saga University can serve as a cosigner if the following conditions are met. (Not all apartments can be cosigned by Saga University.)
1. Status of your residence is “Student”
2. You are an enrolled Saga University student
3. You cannot find a joint guarantor
4. Purchase “Comprehensive Renter’s Insurance for international students “Ryuhosyo” ” (4000 yen per year)「Brochure for Ryuhosyo（English）」「留補償パンフレット（日本語）」「留補償パンフレット（한국어）」「留補償パンフレット（中分）」「留補償パンフレット（Tiếng Việt）」
5. Consensus of apartment owner on Joint Guarantor condition
If you wish Saga University to be your guarantor, please consult with your apartment landlord or real estate agent in advance to make sure there are no problems with the Saga University joint guarantor system. （Please give to the landlord, real estate agent or rental management company「佐賀大学での留学生アパート賃貸借契約の連帯保証人制度について」）
