Hi, me and my girlfriend are moving to Osaka at the end of the month.
Ee are looking for an apartment, and thought we found the one for us, good location, not expensive, loft bed (more space).
We ask for information, and are told that the apartment is available for rent to foreigners. But there is one thing that disconcerted us, in the email it literally says: "Due to bad tenants and/or surroundings, there would be a problem with cockroaches, we can't provide support regarding this issue."
Is this normal behavior in Japan? Or the agency is unprofessional?
I don't want to criticize but I'm genuinely curious, to know how to orient myself.
In Europe when you rent an apartment through an Agency, in any case the minimum is to hand it over clean and without problems of this sort.
Thanks.
