the only caveat to that is if he got the apartment or if some company got it for him. I would assume if it's through a recruitment agency like what teachers go through it might be different. Either way it is still fucking incredibly retarded even if it comes furnished.
There's absolutely furnished appartments in Japan, some rentals are aimed at students so you'll often see them there. Sometimes company provided, etc. But if cheebs is already looking for apartments it looks like his company won't help him.
Lumping these two posts together as my reply is basically the same for both. Cheebs already stated that when he got the job his company wouldn't be providing housing so he has to do it himself. It's why I think Cheebs is in for a rough time because I doubt the company will have his back and if they honestly don't care if he can get a place or not. The fact that they aren't trying to or even willing to help him with anything is a red flag in my opinion.
That's a work visa, he needs confirmed employment in Japan that will provide him with a Certificate Of Eligability (COE) which will be traded for a visa when he arrives. I'm pretty sure he mentioned that part was already covered from his work. He can get into Japan, but if I recall he only has a month to register for an address, so getting an apartment at the last minute is a bad idea.

TLDR I think his Japan misadventure will happen unless he fucks up money or housing really bad.
I don't know if anything has changed, but I'm pretty sure Cheebs Visa application hasn't been approved yet. I think he mentioned he was waiting for it while apartment hunting is pretty fucking dumb. I think Falcon Sebben or Oliver Onions posted about it.

Yeah but as I said they tend to cost more and they're geared towards short term rentals.

I remember a company called "Leo Palace 21" that would do furnished rentals and they were popular with English teachers but they were all tiny places and they cost you more than they were worth. But on the other hand a lot of the hassle was gone even if most places had a bit of a waiting list.

I'm suspecting the move to Glorious Nippon is really to dodge the college debt. Knowing Chibi, his debt collection will have some Shaniqua assigned for it who will totally ignore it as she's got too much pressing nail-filing business to attend to and he'll get away with it. HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

Falcon knows Japan so this isn't news to him but I figured I would expand upon the apartment stuff. When it comes to being a foreigner and renting you are faced with few options in the beginning. Sorry for the length of this post but theres a lot of info.

Most commonly when people find themselves in Chibi's situation they go for places like Leopalace. Leopalace has the majority market share when it comes to this style of housing and that is small, compact apartments owned or operated by the company, it's purpose being to offer a no frills apartment to foreigners with low or no cancellation fees. All the apartments are furnished, come with contracts for power and gas and internet and also have futons delivered. The downside is that these apartments are overpriced because of the convenience. Often the properties are poorly maintained (they have many) and the business is more or less structured to deter you from leaving. Their marketing preys heavily on people's fear of being forced to actually speak Japanese and thus many leopalace renters stay with them or similar companies. They ARE geared towards short term rentals but more or less transient students or workers who will swap prefectures every now and then with new schools but they want them to go to another Leopalace property for "ease". The prices are skewed heavily because of all of this as previously mentioned but the disparity is quite large. My apartment is 75k yen a month and is large with a full kitchen, bathroom, toilet and main area. A leopalace apartment costs around 90k yen and is 1/3rd the size with the kitchen squeezed in to the main hallway and the central area being very compact. There are larger ones of course but the price is much higher. But to be honest unless his work decides to provide him with a place or help him, leopalace or the like is the most likely. But why not just rent a regular apartment?

The reason why is because Japanese realtors are apprehensive to rent to foreigners. People in the realtor (fudosan) business talk and horror stories about foreign renters are some of the most common from vietnamese people burning down buildings out of negligence to indians splitting a single apartment into several smaller ones and charging 10 people rent to sleep on the floor. Chibi isn't one of these people sure but to most Japanese foreigner is foreigner when it comes to renting. How to bypass this while living alone? Speak Japanese and have a lot of reassurances. Have a guarentor agency that handles the late fee, have a clean work and net history and have a visa in hand. You'll be signing a 2 year contract and because of that most owners won't rent to you unless you have the visa already. Chibi doing hunting before he even has his visa is useless because nobody will rent to guy not even in the country, let alone one without a visa and one who's never lived in Japan for a long period of time. That being said it's not a monumental task, rather it's a task that's just above Chibi. If you speak Japanese and have a visa in hand chances are a realtor will rent to you, epsecially if you have a stable income. If you had a Japanese gorlfriend like I'm sure he wants that would make it easy too. :optimistic:

Tldr; People like Chibi forget that not everywhere is America. Landlords or renting companies can and will deny you if they feel like it and there's nothing that anyone can do. Discrimination is allowed if not encouraged because this isn't your property, it's the landlord's. Leopalace or other furnished, foreigner marketed apartment companies are his best bet.

Just to back this up, a lot of Japanese landlords have a, I don't want to say fear, but I don't really know what other word to use, of renting to foreigners because there's always the chance that if they trash the place and leave, it's hard to get the money from them to repair any of the damages. I know somebody personally who owns a few apartments and houses that he uses for AirBnBs who has had a few people leave their places with damage to the walls and floors that he had to repair. While not everybody is obviously a piece of shit who would do that, it's hard to know who will or won't do it.

Absolutely. The best way I find foreigners circumvent this is appealing to the Japanese love of papers and credentials. Live in a place for a while and when you move, ask for a letter of recommendation provided you were a good tenant. Seeing that often makes landlords feel at ease and far more likely to rent.

When I was in Tokyo for work last, I was placed into an apartment for a brief period. Typically they just throw me into a hotel with no issue. When I had arrived, the landlord was present. Dude in his mid-50s or so. He spoke very little English, and I speak no Japanese so we had a fun time communicating. He was polite enough and helped me lug my briefcases in. He would check in with me, specifically, every morning and night. He would brush past me and observe the state of the apartment. I was the only non-Japanese person in this apartment complex, and I was the only person he was doing this to. I wasn’t offended, just inconvenienced because he would ruin my sleep.

After that initial week, he stopped showing up. During my final week staying there, he came to check in on me but brought his daughter (?) with him. She spoke English and told me that the landlord felt bad for his treatment of me and wanted to treat me to dinner (again, I didn’t think much of it). He took me to the Ribera steakhouse because he noticed I had an nWo patch on one of my laptop bags, and he was also a wrestling fan. I assume he’s had bad luck with foreigners fucking his shit up in the past.

It was a super sweet gesture. The food itself was alright, but I won’t turn down free. Place has lots of wrestling history and is worth checking out if you’re a fan.

Thread tax:

Chibi, unlike myself, is fucking slob. I’m very mindful of other people’s shit, and especially my own. Chibi can hardly take care of himself. When he walks to his apartment, people are going to shit themselves in panic.

Ah good old Ribera. Nothing fancy or overly good for that matter but there's always a chance you'll see some WWE wrestler there having a steak.

And yes I want to see Chibi try to rent an apartment in Tokyo. The absolute lunacy from this ought to be good which is why I'm saying to find a guest house. It's cheap, you get your own room and shared common areas. And usually there's a mix of young Japanese types and young foreign types mixing. It's a bit like living in a dorm but you don't have a roommate.
 
Those little pizza delivery tuk tuks are usually how you earn your encounter with Truck-kun. Chibi's true isekai plan revelaed.
I love how Trunk-kun has become an unofficial character in so many Isekai stories.

But knowing Chibi the god that reincarnated him would take one look and say, "yeah you're going back".
