6. Hunting for a New Apartment

Welcome. What kind of property are you looking for today?

Um, I'll be transferring to a job near here starting next month, so I'm looking for an apartment close to the station.

I see. Do you have any specific requirements?

Let's see. Within 10 minutes walk from the station, and I'd like the rent to be around 80,000 yen including management fees. Also, a bright, south-facing room would be nice.

Understood. And how about the age of the building or the layout?

Within 15 years, and a 1K or 1LDK layout would be ideal. Actually, I have a small dog, so it has to be a pet-friendly property.

When it comes to pet-friendly properties, the options narrow down significantly... Oh, how about this one? 10 years old, 8 minutes walk from the station, and pets are allowed.

Oh, that's nice. However, does it have an auto-lock? I'm a bit concerned about security.

Yes, it's fully equipped with an auto-lock and security cameras are also installed, so even women can live there with peace of mind.

That's reassuring. By the way, how much would the initial costs like the security deposit and key money be?

For this property, the security deposit is one month's rent, and there is zero key money. Therefore, the initial costs can be kept quite low.

That's perfect. I'd like to make this my first choice, so could I see the interior later?

Certainly. Well then, before I guide you, could you please fill out this brief questionnaire?

Yes, understood.
