This payment is held by the landlord throughout the lease period as financial security. In simple terms, it\u2019s money set aside to protect the landlord in case the tenant fails to meet certain obligations, such as paying rent or covering damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, Japan\u2019s <strong>Civil Code<\/strong> was revised to clarify the legal definition of a security deposit. According to the new definition, it refers to \u201cany amount paid by a tenant to a landlord, regardless of its name, intended to secure rent or other monetary obligations arising from the lease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The law also states that the deposit is to be settled when the lease ends and the property is returned. The refundable amount is calculated as the original deposit minus any unpaid rent, repair costs, or other obligations incurred during the tenancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arealty.mom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/No-deposit-apartment-Tokyo-1.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/No-deposit-apartment-Tokyo-1.avif 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/No-deposit-apartment-Tokyo-1-300x150.avif 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/No-deposit-apartment-Tokyo-1-768x384.avif 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bright minimalist bedroom with compact kitchen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_Landlords_in_Japan_Require_a_Deposit\"><\/span><strong>Why Do Landlords in Japan Require a Deposit?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we explore why some properties have <strong>no deposit<\/strong>, it\u2019s helpful to understand why the system exists in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Japan, the <strong>deposit system<\/strong> was designed to protect landlords. When you rent an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/listing\/tokyo-apartment-for-rent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apartment for rent in Tokyo<\/a><\/strong>, you\u2019re essentially borrowing a space that must be returned in good condition. The deposit covers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unpaid rent if the tenant leaves suddenly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repairs or cleaning required for damages exceeding ordinary use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restoration costs (returning the apartment to its original state)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cultural background also contributes to this situation. Japanese society values responsibility, cleanliness, and trust. The deposit serves as a symbol of commitment between the tenant and landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in recent years, as housing agencies like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arealty<\/a><\/strong> have introduced <strong>foreigner friendly rental Japan<\/strong> options, more landlords are willing to skip deposits, especially when working with reliable guarantor companies or professional management firms that minimize risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.arealty.mom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/No-deposit-apartment-Tokyo-2.avif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/No-deposit-apartment-Tokyo-2.avif 800w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/No-deposit-apartment-Tokyo-2-300x150.avif 300w, https:\/\/arealty.mom\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/No-deposit-apartment-Tokyo-2-768x384.avif 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Landlord to tenant: keys exchanged<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Consider_a_No_Deposit_Apartment_in_Tokyo\"><\/span><strong>Why Consider a No Deposit Apartment in Tokyo?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Living in Tokyo is exciting, but it can be expensive.

While the deposit is refundable, the actual amount returned depends on the apartment\u2019s condition and how smoothly you handle the move-out inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your lease ends, the property manager conducts an <strong>inspection (\u9000\u53bb\u7acb\u4f1a\u3044, taikyo tachiai)<\/strong> to check for damage or cleaning needs. Repair and cleaning fees will be taken out of your deposit.
