How guarantor companies and screening work

Learn what helps when you do not have a Japanese guarantor and how to prepare screening documents.

Guide

1. Screening still matters even for foreigner-friendly listings

Even foreigner-friendly listings still check income, work or school status, household size, and guarantor-company eligibility.

2. Consistency improves screening

If your inquiry, application, employer details, and visa explanation do not match, screening slows down or fails.

3. Include guarantor fees in move-in cost planning

Do not compare only rent or deposit. Include guarantor fees, insurance, and lock-change costs in your budget.
