This is a fixed-term building lease contract.

A fixed-term lease contract is a contract that expires at the end of the term specified in the contract, without being renewed.

If you wish to re-sign the contract at the expiration of the contract, you may do so after examination.

Initial administration fee and daily rent for the first month (calculated on a daily basis from the date of moving in) must be transferred at the time of signing the contract.

No key money, security deposit, or broker’s fee will be charged.

Electricity, gas, water, Wi-Fi, shared space usage fees, common area cleaning fees, and repair fees are included.

Residents do not need to sign individual contracts for gas, electricity, water, internet, etc., making it very easy to start a new life with only a move-in contract.

The rent is for one room and the common service fee is for two persons.

Consumables used in common areas, such as garbage bags, toilet paper, dishwashing detergent, sponges, rags, and light bulbs, are replenished regularly by the management.

Rent will be charged from the date you apply to move out until one month after the date you apply to move out.
(If you apply at least one month prior to the move-out date, no unnecessary rent will be charged.)

Cleaning costs after you move out are included in the initial fee, so there are no cleaning costs when you move out.
(If there are any stains or damages that need to be repaired, you may be billed separately.)

The common spaces  are available 24 hours a day. Since everyone has a different rhythm of life, the common space is available without congestion.
However, we do limit the hours of use of the laundry, dryer, and other noisy shared facilities located near the private rooms in order to protect everyone’s peaceful sleep.
