Looking for an apartment for rent in Japan? If yes, you might also want to consider renting a monthly apartment. Most flats of this type are fully furnished so you won’t need to buy anything before moving in. This will save you time that would otherwise be spent searching for the right furniture and appliances. What’s more, you’ll be able to use the money you save on other things that are more important.

If you rent a monthly apartment, you’ll have the freedom of moving out whenever you like for whatever reason, whether it be for work or anything else. Most regular apartment contracts need to be renewed every year, so if you’ve just renewed your contract for your second year but you suddenly need to move for work, you won’t be getting any of the renewal fees back. Monthly apartments, on the other hand, have monthly contracts and are hassle-free for the short-term resident.

This is also an advantage when you run into unexpected difficulties after moving in. For example, let’s say some road work nearby is making too much noise to bear. If there’s something you don’t like that you find after moving in, you can simply pack your bags and move out. The same goes if you need to change bases for work. If these benefits are appealing, monthly apartments are for you.
