Welcome to my new F.Y.I. videos
This video is a bit of a divergence from my usual videos in that it is more factual than fun. ( I hope my other vids were fun!)
This video explains as well as I can the diffficulties/joys of renting an apartment in Tokyo. Please comment, or post a video comment if you have advice that would be USEFUL to someone thinking about living in Japan. I only know from my own experience so please share yours....

It's quite common for Japanese landlords to insanely overcharge gaijins because...the landlords don't want gaijins in the first place. It is also a good opportunity to rob the gaijins in case they are insanely rich. It's basically two birds with one stone.
-
From my father's experience some companies you work for will rent the appartment for you and then you have to sub let off the company.
-
Is is possible for foreign to have an property in Tokyo?
-
Are these rent / housing contracts in english, that you can understand for what you are willing to sign your name on - or is it all in japanese and they "explain" it to you in english.
Can it be only in japanese in some places / areas?
-
Great tips. The background music is very loud though, and the vocals in the music detract from what is otherwise a very informative clip.
-
There should be a video where Tokyocooney talks about the currency in japan

God PLEASE drown the music by at least -12.0 dB while you're speaking, instead of the other way around ^^:

Near the end of this video the music starts into playing over your commentary, which again ... makes everything you say very hard to hear, my dear!
