Going through a real estate company in the US to find a rental often has similar fees. I was looking through a real estate office any place I looked at required first month and last months rent plus another month's rent as a fee to the realtor.

I am Japanese but I didn't even know this. I don't wanna move.

"but we get a cat", dear rachel: oh god, that comment jun made at the end of the video....just by that comment alone you know you made a great decision by marrying jun, here in my country people dont really care much about their pets and sometimes getting married involves giving away your cats/dogs, so let me go and cry at how cute you guys are together
-
'But we need a cat' Jun you sound like my family looking for a new place here in the U.S. we have two cats and a big old dog.

I live in turkey and things about rent are pretty much the same as you guys told about japan rent system. We pay one months rent to the real estate agency and if you wanna live in a security blocks of house (i dont know the english word for it but we call it "site") we pay like 300 or 400 turkish liras for nothing actually. We also pay for hot water and stuff. But still, it's not that hard. And you dont need to get permission about pets in here as long as they dont make disturbing noises. So i kinda understand you guys. Happy new apartment guys!!!

Boo such a pain in the ass!

try to sign a longer term lease so don't have to pay the upfront fees again so soon ...
-
Can't you just by a house instead of rent it

Very informative video. I've been told that I should live there, but I don't think so. It's one thing to visit, but to actually live there is an entirely different story. Thanks for sharing!

How does the guarantor company work? Is it a one time fee? Or do you continually pay every year?
-
It doesn't seem worth moving at all :( That made me really disappointed lol
-
Omg I live in Manhattan and the monthly rent for a two bedroom apartment in midtown is $5000.

Feeling the pain right now! I'm moving in with my boyfriend. I'm a student and he is a professional, and soo many places refused to consider anyone who is a student (even though my student grant + wage is more than enough to pay the rent). Also we couldn't find any private landlords doing a place suitable for us so we had to go to an estate agent.They need tonnes of cash and they need proof that we're not illegal immigrants (due to a new law passed in the UK this year) etc. It's stressful as all hell.
Guarantor fee: £60
Agency fees: £420
Holding fee: £300
Security deposit: £1117
Rent in advance: £745
TOTAL: £2000 and something pounds before we've even moved in! -
