About this page

This page explains guidelines on restoration obligations and cost allocation for rental housing disputes at move-out in Japan. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism established these guidelines in 1998 and has revised them to prevent disputes. The guidelines define restoration as repairs for damage beyond normal wear caused by tenant negligence or misuse, while normal deterioration costs are included in rent. Early problem prevention through initial property inspection and clear contract terms is emphasized. The guidelines consider building age when determining tenant responsibility, and limit repairs to damaged areas with minimal construction scope.
