What is UR Housing?
UR housing refers to rental properties managed by the Urban Renaissance Agency (UR), a Japanese government-affiliated public corporation, providing housing with benefits like no guarantor and no key money required. These properties are known for being well-maintained, reasonably priced, and offer flexible rental terms.
Four Advantages of UR Rental Housing
- No Key Money
It is not necessary to pay any extra money to the owner as a gift. Therefore the only money you need to move in is the deposit (2 monthsʼ rent), and the daily prorated rent and common area administration fee for the month you move in. - No brokerage fee
Payment of a brokerage fee to a real estate company is not necessary. - No renewal fee
Rental contracts renew automatically (except for fixed-term rental contracts), and no renewal fee is required. - No guarantor
It is not necessary to make the troublesome guarantor request to a family member or friend.
Application Requirements
- The average monthly income of the applicant must be at or above the monthly income standard.
- You must be a Japanese national, or a foreign national with the qualifications required by UR, who requires continual housing for yourself.
- You must be planning to live alone or together with a family member who currently resides with you or wants to reside with you.
- All residents including the applicant must be able to move in within 1 month of the permitted occupancy date decided by Urban Renaissance Agency, and must be capable of smooth communal living within the property.
- All residents including the applicant must not be members of organized crime organizations or other anti-social forces.
