Rental screening guide

Japan move-out cost checklist

Move-out costs often become stressful because tenants do not know which damage is normal wear and which cost may be charged to them.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism publishes guidance on restoration cost disputes and standard contract thinking. Keep photos at move-in and move-out, request itemized details, and check special clauses before signing.

The checker can help you list likely cost risks before your move-out inspection.
