3 Merits of HIS
  1. No problem even
    without a joint guarantor! 1

    • Screening possible with only emergency contacts
      When foreigners search for a joint guarantor in Japan, it is not an easy task. Even Japanese nationals find it difficult to ask someone who is not a relative to be their joint guarantor because of the high amount of trust needed between them. Not to mention it being difficult for someone from overseas where it is not common to have a guarantor to ask for a joint guarantor in Japan.
      At Hot Hosyou, generally we accept only having emergency contacts during the screening process. As nationality does not matter for emergency contacts, the application process can be carried out smoothly.
    • Applying from overseas
      There are many who start searching for apartments before they arrive in japan. However, we think the hurdle of the screening process before they arrive in Japan is quite high. For those situations, Hot Hosyou is also able to accept screening applications. We can provide a faster move-in reception compared to other companies.

FAQ
What is a Guarantor company?
A Guarantor company acts in the event that a rent payment is unpaid, the guarantor company will pay the unpaid amount to the owner or the realtor company that collects the rent. Because of that, the risk for both owners and for realtor companies is lowered. Because of that lowered risk, it is easier for residents apply for and rent a house or apartment.
