Hey everyone. I'm not sure how often people encounter this situation living here but I'm hoping there might have been some who've already gone through the same thing. I apologize if my post is a bit all over the place in advance as I'm under a lot of stress at the moment.
I moved into my apartment a year ago and and usually when you move in they give you the 入居時確認表 where you list down the previous damages of your apartment and in some cases, you might be asked to take pictures as well. However, I was going through a lot of things at the time from job changing to being hospitalized that it flew out of my head. 2023 was a rough year and the next time I thought about it it's been more than 6 months already. Upon checking the paper, I saw that I was supposed to submit it within the same week of moving in so it was already too late for me.
Now things have just started to clear out for me I'm trying to prepare to move out again and I found the same paper again and was wondering how I should expect to deal with this? My flat has a few holes and wallpaper tear and I'm worried about being taken advantage of the fees on moving out. When the time comes, is it possible to at least lower the amount or even better, avoid getting charges for this? I appreciate any advice. Thank you.
