So my friend has quit her job and needs to move out of her company dormitory. We have been looking for new places for her to move into. She wants a place that is accessible, meaning inside the city.
We tried to find a place with no key money, deposit, available to foreigners but most of the online postings have already been applied to and are not updated, or they don’t allow foreigners.
We finally decided to go through an agent.
The agency looked up a few places for us and calculated the initial moving cost to be around 500k. This includes key money, deposit, agency fee, fire insurance, guarantor’s fee.
I can’t shake the feeling that she’s being ripped off and this isn’t a normal amount of money.
Can we get some guidance on this? Has anyone had a similar experience?
