Staying less than 2 years?
Short-Term Lease
Although the typical apartment contract in Japan is for a duration of 2 years, you may have more short-term plans, making standard contracts an unattractive option. Thankfully, Interlink can offer furnished or unfurnished options catered to English speakers for short-term rental.
