GaijinPot Housing Service: House hunting during the pandemic

The GaijinPot Housing Service is pleased to present a new topic for their online seminars on how to rent properties in Japan.

The pandemic has certainly influenced many changes to our everyday lives–apartment hunting included. How has the Japanese real industry changed over the past year and a half, and how have house hunters and real estate agencies been tackling the changes? 

In this seminar, the GaijinPot Housing Service lets you in on what you can do whilst waiting for the borders to open, and how you can get started safely if you’re already in Japan. Some topics will be:

• How the pandemic has affected real estate in Japan
• Predictions for when the borders open
• What you can do during the pandemic if you’re stuck abroad
• How to get started with looking for housing if you’re already in Japan
• The basic aspects of our service and its benefits
• The pros and cons of subleasing as opposed to renting a property on your own
• What fees are required to use the GaijinPot Housing Service
• As well as other frequently asked questions (FAQ).
• Q & A

We’ll be holding a Q&A session at the end of the presentation to answer any questions that weren’t already covered in the FAQ portion of the webinar.
