[Inquiry to us] → [Private viewing] → [Submission of documents for screening] → [Screening] → [Determination of contract date] → [Execution of contract]
*Screening of documents takes 2 to 3 days.
*If screening is completed without any issues, a contract can be executed.
*Rooms are available for use about one week after screening documents are submitted.

The required documents depend on whether a corporate or individual contract will be signed. Please prepare the documents required for the appropriate type of contract.

Contracts are available for both individuals and corporations.
However, for a corporate contract, the representative must become the joint surety.

If an individual who has made a contract is a representative, the contract can be switched to a corporate contract.
If a different person is the representative, a new contract will need to be executed and the incoming agreement fee must be paid again.

It is possible to move to a different building or room.
If there is a difference between the incoming agreement fees for the two buildings or rooms, a fee equal to the difference will be charged.
55,000 yen → 110,000 yen: The difference of 55,000 yen must be paid.
110,000 yen → 55,000 yen: The difference of 55,000 yen will not be returned. *People who execute a contract during a campaign for a newly completed building are subject to some rules on moving.
