Casa Familia Rental House

The Casa Familia rental house is a fully furnished home with lots of extras to facilitate a quick and easy move-in process. Tenants can quickly feel at home and begin living here right after arriving in Japan from overseas or arriving in Yokohama from a distant prefecture.

The house is available for both a standard lease (two-year contact) or short-term lease depending on availability and length of stay (to be negotiated with the owner).

The home includes a large parking space directly in front of the house, which makes commuting, shopping, and excursions very easy to prepare for.

Assuming a standard lease, the move-in fees for this property are as follows:

Rent: 300,000 yen/month
Insurance & 24/7 support: 2,000 yen/month
Key money: 300,000 yen (non-refundable)
Deposit: 300,000 yen (partially refundable)
Agency fee: 330,000 yen (non-refundable)
Guarantor company fee: 302,000 yen or less (non-refundable)
Total Move-In Cost: 1,534,000 yen (approximate maximum cost)

Unlike a typical Japanese apartment or house, you will not have to purchase and install air conditioners, sign a separate lease for a parking space at an off-site parking lot, and no need to buy any appliances, beds, dressers, etc.

Contact Rent Life at 045-470-3214 or e-yokohama@r-life.co.jp to schedule a viewing. Viewings can be conducted on any day of the week during business hours 10:00 to 18:00. Please be sure to make an appointment to avoid a double booking.

RL Tsurumi Chuo Flat 305

The RL Tsurumi Chuo Flat 305 apartment (ＭＡＣ鶴見コート３０５) is a foreigner-friendly, 1DK apartment with 33.89 sqm of space and a rent of only 110,000 yen.

This unit comes with a trundle bed and a sofa bed, which can accommodate sleeping for up to 3 persons. The bedroom comes with enough storage space to accommodate several large suitcases and backpacks, making this particular unit especially popular among travelers needing a "base camp" while venturing out to see the sights of Japan.

The living room includes a small dining table with space for two, and larger than normal (compared to a 1R or 1K unit) cooking area with gas stove top burner.

The bathroom and lavatory are in separate rooms, while the toilet has a newly installed bidet.

The apartment is in a building with an elevator and automatically locking lobby. Further, the unit is a corner unit, which allows for a significant amount of natural light.

The immediate area of the apartment is a semi-urban area and on a quiet street, but quite close to large shopping centers and within easy access to two train stations.

Access:

An 11-minute walk to Tsurumi Station on on the Keihin-Tohoku Line which offers easy access to Yokohama Station, Kawasaki Station, Shinagawa Station, Tokyo Station, the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Disneyland, and Narita Airport.
A 10-minute walk to Keikyu-Tsurumi Station on the Keihin-Kyuko Line which offers easy access to Yokohama Station, Kawasaki Station, Shinagawa Station, and Haneda Airport without transferring to another line. With one transfer, you have easy access to Narita Airport within 2 hours.

Daily Living:

There are six different locations within walking distance where you can do grocery shopping. However, the most likely destinations for your shopping needs will be the Ito Yokado Tsurumi super market/shopping center and the Mega Don Quijote, Tsurumi-chuo discount store which offers almost everything and anything you could possibly need at very affordable prices.
Among the six convenience stores located between the station and the apartment, there are three major chains within close walking distance of the apartment: 7-Eleven, Family Mart, and Lawson Store 100
Four medical clinics also within walking distance of the apartment with even more clinics near the train station.
