Property Management for Owners
Your property in Japan,
looked after from anywhere.
"The unit won't rent." "Rent and repair notices are all in Japanese." "I can't reach my management company." We hear this often from owners who live overseas or are simply too busy.
As a licensed Japanese real estate company, XOZAITAKU takes care of everything from finding tenants to collecting and remitting rent, tenant support, repairs and move-outs. All reporting is in Chinese, Japanese, English, Vietnamese, Indonesian or Nepali — you just read one statement a month.
Tenant placement
Marketing through our own brokerage and partner agents, plus tenant screening and guarantor setup.
Rent collection
We collect rent monthly and remit it to you after management and repair costs.
Arrears follow-up
Payments are checked every month; late rent is chased with the tenant and guarantor right away.
Tenant support
Breakdowns, noise and other issues handled in Japanese or Chinese — foreign tenants included.
Renewals & move-outs
Lease renewals, move-out inspections and restoration quotes and settlement.
Repairs
We get quotes, report with photos, and arrange work only after you approve.
Monthly statements
Rent, costs and the amount remitted, summarized in one report each month.
Tax support
Tax returns and tax representative questions handled with our partner tax accountant.
Free consultation
Tell us the location, layout, current rent and occupancy — by WeChat, email or phone.
Plan & quote
We suggest rent and leasing terms based on the local market and itemize every fee in advance.
Management agreement
We sign only once you're satisfied. Switching from another company? We handle the handover.
Management begins
Leasing and rent collection start, and monthly statements follow.
Can I switch from my current management company?
Yes. We check the notice period in your current agreement, then notify the tenant and guarantor and take over the deposit and keys. Occupied units can be switched as they are.
Can I use your service while living overseas?
Yes — most of our owners live outside Japan. Rent can be sent to your Japanese account or, if you prefer, abroad (transfer fees are paid by the owner). We communicate by WeChat or email.
How much is the management fee?
It depends on the property type, number of units and scope, so we quote each property individually. Any other costs, such as leasing commissions or repairs, are explained and approved by you before they arise.
My unit has been vacant for a while. Can you help?
Often, yes. Adjusting the rent, leasing terms or how the unit is presented can make a real difference. Start by telling us how it is being marketed now.
Which areas do you cover?
Mainly Tokyo's 23 wards, plus the greater Tokyo area and Osaka. Ask us about other areas.
Free consultations on property management, renovation, buying, investing, renting, studying in Japan and visas. Our team speaks Chinese, Japanese, English, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Nepali.
