There are other issues involved - key money, cleaning deposits, guarantors and laws which lay heavily upon the side of renters - such that landlords can be very difficult to work with. It's not uncommon to have them say "sorry, no foreigners". I'd imagine the same stigma holds for other groups of people.
- toyg 13y agoYeah, key money in japanese metro areas is said to be absurd - up to 6 months of rent in some cases, and two to three months on average. These people live paycheck to paycheck and struggle to save anything, so key money can be a mirage for them.
