Survey: What's been your experience of trying to rent an apartment in Japan?
Online: Jul 02, 2017
Last Modified: Jul 03, 2017
We asked foreign residents to tell us about the hurdles they faced when trying to rent an apartment in Japan. The following is a selection of their responses.
Country of birth: Spain
Visa status: Working visa
How long have you lived in Japan: 1-5 years
Please describe your experience of house-hunting, including 1) roughly when and where it took place; 2) the language(s) you communicated in; and 3) any reasons given for being denied rental.
1) March 2015, Kawaguchi (Saitama Prefecture)
2) I contacted a real estate office after finding online an apartment that fit my needs. I visited them, and they insisted on showing me other apartments as well. One of those other ones looked pretty good, so the agent phoned the landlord right there, in front of me. I could hear what the agent said but not what the landlord said. She told him that there was someone interested in renting his property, and that I was not Japanese. The landlord then asked her where I was from, she replied, and after that I saw the agent's face turn into disappointment. She then hung up and informed me that the landlord strongly preferred renting to a Japanese person.
I had no problems with the apartment I was originally interested in and ended up moving there, though. Maybe it helped that the landlord for this apartment spoke quite good English and traveled internationally for work frequently.
All interactions with the real estate agent were in Japanese (I had already passed JLPT N2 by then). I was (and still am) employed by a Japanese company.
I speak Japanese fairly fluently so I was by myself.
'No foreign tenants' — and not much you can do about it
Country of birth: Costa Rica
Ethnicity: Hispanic/Latino
Visa status: Student visa
1) It was in 2015, in Okinawa.
2) Japanese.
3) In none of the cases I dealt with the actual owners of the apartments, only with their real estate agents, and in both cases I was told that the owners did not want to lend to foreigners. Plain and simple.
Country of birth: Poland
I went to the real estate agent and while I was browsing the offers I was told that several places do not accept foreigners. I speak good Japanese (N1), study in Tokyo University and have a guarantor with very high income so I don't think these were a problem.
Actually I wasn't denied rental, I was not allowed to chose some apartments in a first place. Agent was very nice person and helped me find a good place, but landlords who make such a condition are unacceptable.
Country of birth: Japan
Ethnicity: Other
Visa status: Permanent
1) A few years ago in Osaka.
2) Japanese
3) Funnily enough, I was initially denied until they found out I was half Japanese. The Japanese ability was also used as a way of convincing the landlord to take me on.
Country of birth: Malaysia
2-3 years ago, when I reached Tokyo Japan for approximately 5 months, I decided to move out from my school dorm. I visited about 10 company and 9 company refused to rent me room because:
1. I haven't reached adulthood.
2. I have no work or part-time job.
3. I'm still currently learning Japanese, the owner assumed that my Japanese language is not good.
4. I'm a Malaysian Chinese, but people would assume that you are from China and reject you immediately without asking where you came from. But luckily the last company was willing to communicate and learn more about me and the owner is friendly to foreigners.
Country of birth: New Zealand
How long have you lived in Japan: More than 10
"No gaijin" "gaijin dame" "no no no" all. Conversations took place in real estate agent offices. I speak fluent Japanese and by the way, all in Tokyo area.
Country of birth: Canada
I am currently looking to rent a house and have been denied a few times already in Kyoto.
It seems that the only places people are willing to rent me are dirty old buildings that no one else wants.
Visa status: Other
My husband, who is French, and I were looking for a new apartment in Tokyo. We made an appointment to visit a house through an agency, but when we arrived at the real estate agency they were shocked to see me (Japanese) with a foreigner. They only talked to me on the phone. Then the agent called the owner of the house, and the owner of the house said, "no gaijin." We couldn't even see the house! I was the one who would be signing the contract but it didn't help.
The agent then tried to show us other apartments, but every time he called the owner to see if we can see the room, he always mentioned we are gaijin, as if it's something he would need to tell every time.
In the end, we could only see two rooms, and as we liked one of them, I asked the agent to get back to me on some questions after checking with the owner before applying. He never called me back. Both the owner of the house we wanted to see, and the agent, were judging us based on being gaijin.
Country of birth: United Kingdom
How long have you lived in Japan: 6-10 years
1) Flat hunting in Nakano Ward, Tokyo.
2) Two years ago.
3) My mother is Japanese and my Japanese is perfect. Even still, I have been told that certain flats that I was interested in renting wouldn't rent to foreigners (even though I am Japanese).
I was just told that the landlord of the property wouldn't accept foreign tenants. I told them that I am Japanese and it's illegal to discriminate in this way, but since I was speaking to the agent and not the landlord, this didn't lead anywhere.
Visa status: Spouse visa
1) Before I was married in 2012 in Tokyo.
2) I used a rental agency that specialized in helping foreigners find apartments so they used Japanese to communicate for me.
3) No reasons given just that they wouldn't allow a foreigner. I was denied more than once and one time they refused to even let me view the apartment listed because I was foreign.
Country of birth: Chile
How long have you lived in Japan: Less than a year
Have you ever been denied a rental due to being non-Japanese? Yes, I was told that this was the reason.
1) Osaka
2) Japanese language
3) The only reason they said it was neighborhood residents and apartment owner complain if foreigners live close to them. We felt completely discriminated and disgusted. It's a shame this happens in Japan.
Two years ago, after visiting two times a house in Ikebukuro, when we agreed with everything, they suddenly changed their mind.
Our real estate agent speaks Japanese and she didn't explain that we were foreigners, so maybe landlord didn't know at first.
Contract will be signed by a Japanese company, so communication would have never been an issue.
We called from another agency and they explained that they didn't want foreigners.
Country of birth: France
This year, I tried to rent an apartment and was told foreigners weren't authorized to live there.
The communication took place by mail in Japanese.
Five years ago I was told by an agent that my name, with which I signed the email, was a fake name (a foreign name in katakana)
1) These two places when I was in Japan for about two months. I was apartment hunting and the real estate office was showing me apartments. I picked several that I thought were good and then they checked and found that several don't accept foreigners, so they excluded those.
3) They said explicitly that those places didn't accept non-Japanese
I was looking for a place when I was moving to Tokyo. I found a agency that helped foreigners in English. The only problem is the only apartments they would show me were LeoPalace. Whenever I asked if about the other apartments they had listings for I was told that since I don't speak Japanese that it would just be easier with LeoPalace since they had English services. Even with that I only get notices or service calls from them in Japanese. Looking back on it I think they use the "Japanese apartments won't rent to foreigners" as a way to sell their tiny apartments.
I went through a company I saw online and they did translate my meeting at the LeoPalace office.
Country of birth: United States
I looked for apartments in downtown Tokyo after living in Japan for over three years, speaking the language fluently, and working for a Japanese company in Roppongi-Itchome. I was told multiple times that apartments I was interested in, while I was at the rental company, "didn't allow foreigners." It was often written on ads, and sometimes the realtor I was working with would call and ask and I would hear the phone conversation. I was often told it was because the owner was concerned that, if there was a problem, they "wouldn't be able to communicate with me." I pointed out that I spoke Japanese and had even gone to the trouble of asking a close Japanese friend's family to be my guarantor in the event of an emergency, but was still denied from multiple apartments.
1) After leaving the university residency in 2014
2) A Japanese friend came with me to the real state agency. Communication with the agency was in Japanese.
3) After visiting some apartments recommended by the agency, I decided on one of them. The agency communicated the owner that I was interested and the owner inquired about me. After learning I was foreigner, he ask for a guarantor. My university offers a guarantor service. But the owner said that, because I as gaijin, I had to used the guarantor he said (much more expensive) and I gave up that apartment.
Country of birth: Switzerland
1) June 2016
2) A close friend who is Japanese served as an interpreter for me.
3) The agent told us upfront that about 70% of properties do not allow foreigners, and of those that do, it depends heavily on the nationality (ie race), gender and age of the foreigner, in that order. I was told that I shouldn't have to worry too much because I was from a "good" country (I'm Swiss), female (not likely to be dangerous or violent) and not too young (noisy) or too old (hard to deal with, not adaptable).
It was indirectly hinted that foreigners of Asian heritage (Chinese, Korean) or who were dark-skinned (POCs, South Asians) would have had a much harder time. In the end, the agent made a phone call to the owner, informing her of my nationality, gender and age, and received the final OK to proceed. My friend was very shocked by the whole revelation and process, but I was expecting as much and was just glad to have found a place so quickly.
I was in Osaka for house hunting during my fourth year of staying in Japan. I met the house agent, we spoke in Japanese. I liked the house, which was about 50k yen that time. They were processing my datas, details and etc. And it took for about two hours of waiting before being declined.
I was being told that I do not have enough income to rent the house. I had a full-paid scholarship with the same amount of a working fresh-grad, and a part time teaching job that I do to pass the time. Until now, I do not know how much income is enough for me to rent that house.
I speak well (not perfect enough, maybe) Japanese that I passed my JLPT N1 in the first eight months I came to Japan.

Vicki and Paul are pretty much the ideal wedding couple to work with: Madly in love, great smiles, and practically impossible to get them to stop kissing each other(not that I would dare try, of course). We spent a few hours shooting around the winter wonderland that was Chestnut Ridge, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Oh, and did I mention they brought some awesome red thrones with them!?!?
Their wedding is coming up later in the year, and I'm excited to say the least.

It has been incredible traveling around sharing our music and getting to meet so many of you. Getting to know you and grow up with you has been a privilege. Your support has allowed us to chase our dreams and we are forever grateful. We have grown a lot during this time and our hearts are now in different places.
Although this will be the start of a new chapter, the one thing that will remain the same is our support for each other and all of you. We're excited about the future for all of us. Thank you for everything. We love y'all!

Covid-19 impact: India's startups story hanging by a thread
Over 70% of startups in the travel and tourism space have seen revenues decline by over 40%, while 50% of fintech and logistics businesses have seen a similar dip.
Alnoor Peermohamed
BENGALURU: India's startup sector is bleeding due to business disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, with nine in 10 startups registering a decline in revenues and a little over a third halting operations temporarily or permanently, according to a survey by technology industry body Nasscom.
The worst hit segments are early and mid-stage businesses, especially in the business to consumer space. Nasscom found that around 60% of all B2C startups were facing closure, two months into the nationwide lockdown that has so-far kept businesses shut.
The two month-long survey, which received responses from over 250 startups across sectors, found that 92% reported a decline in revenues. The report added that 40% of startups have either temporarily halted operations or are in the process of shutting down, with around 70% having cash reserves to last less than 3 months.
"To ensure that the Indian startup movement and its growth trajectory is not derailed, coordinated support from key stakeholders is the need of the hour," said Debjani Ghosh, president of Nasscom. "Some of our key recommendations to the government include access to working capital, easing compliances and fiscal policy and funding support."
Over 70% of startups in the travel and tourism space have seen revenues decline by over 40%, while 50% of fintech and logistics businesses have seen a similar dip. The only bright spots for the startup sector were seen in ed-tech with 14% businesses reporting an increase in revenue, while B2B startups seem to be facing lesser revenue drops.
However, the sector which now employees 4,00,000 people directly across 9,300 technology startups, is fighting back with 54% of respondents in the survey saying they were looking to pivot their businesses.
From servicing categories such as healthcare and edtech that are growing to increasing utilisation of technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and IoT, startups are looking at different ways to survive.

Buildings are what makes Renegade X differ from most other FPS games. Considering its roots from a Real-Time Strategy game, teams in Renegade X Command & Conquer have a group of buildings also known as base. And just like in most RTS games - victory will be attained by complete destruction of the opponent's main buildings. A balance between players attacking the opponent base and players defending the base will be necessary to succeed as a team.
There are plenty of ways to destroy a building: brute force with either infantry or vehicles can destroy buildings, but a coordinated attack such as an infantry rush or a synchronized volley of Artillery fire will be much more successful, especially if the opponents are not expecting it. Placing a Superweapon Beacon and protecting it until it transmit its coordinates will instantly destroy the building, without needing to go through its armor and health bars. Lastly, for those who like to play in a subtle way, they can infiltrate and sabotage a building from within with a Hotwire/Technician throwing their explosives at the Master Control Terminal.

List of Buildings
Main Buildings
Main Buildings will grant specific benefits for the team. They can be recognized by having two bars when selected, a health bar and an armor bar, and by their size, usually being bigger than the other buildings. All the main buildings have interiors, where Purchase Terminals, and the Master Control Terminal, basically the heart of the building, can be found on the walls. Each main building has at least one sliding door used to access the building; note that they will open up for everyone, no matter if it is ally or enemy; therefore, Proximity C4 is usually placed behind the doors to protect the building from infiltrators.
In certain maps, main buildings will have ramps leading to the roofs; they are present in maps that allow aerial vehicles, reason being to reach any opponent who flew to the roof and placed a Superweapon Beacon there. However, those kind of buildings may have more not so obvious entrances toward their insides, an example being jumping through the windows of the Hand of Nod on the ramps.
A voice message will play everytime a main building is under attack or repaired, possibly warning the team; in addition, icons located at the bottom of the screen state the conditions of the main building: lightened up means that it is in good conditions, red icon means that it has lost all its armor and it is suffering permanent damage, and greyed out means that the building has been destroyed.
Destruction of a main building will deny the benefits towards the team which has lost it, ranging from not being able to purchase new Vehicles to their automated defenses going offline. Note that a "destroyed" building will just take the appearance of a worn out building, with some cracks and fires on its walls, while it is still possible to go inside it and employ its Purchase Terminals; utter annihilation of a building is not possible. A message will be broadcasted to every player when a building is destroyed, showing the player responsible for its destruction. If all the main buildings of a team are destroyed, they will lose the match.
Repair Guns will replenish the building's armor, considerably faster if they are hitting the Master Control Terminal, but damage towards the building's health is permanent and it cannot be repaired. The armor and health values may be checked from the scoreboard screen (Tab by default).
Each faction has 5 different main buildings. Both teams have a Power Plant and Tiberium Refinery. Each team has their own unique base defense, vehicle production building and advanced infantry building.
Nod Main Buildings
Tiberium Refinery
Hand of Nod
GDI Main Buildings
Advanced Guard Tower
Infantry Barracks
Weapons Factory
Complimentary defenses
In some maps, each faction may also have smaller turrets that are meant to be a light defense against incoming assaults. These buildings do not possess interiors, thus they do not have any MCTs and are less resistant since they only possess health, instead of both armor and health that regular buildings have; although unlike the former, repair guns will be able to replenish the health of these defenses. Most importantly, they will still operate even with a destroyed Power Plant.
Nod Defenses
GDI Defenses
Guard Tower
Anti-Air Tower
Those type of defenses differ from the ones aforementioned since they have to be manually operated by the player; they can be technically considered as stationary vehicles. They can be destroyed, repaired, and they will continue to function with a destroyed Power Plant.
List of Emplacements
Gun Emplacement
Rocket Emplacement
Tech buildings
Buildings pertaining to this category are neutral at the beginning, but they can be captured by firing a repair gun at their MCTs. The faction whose captures the building will be able to receive benefits from it, such an example would be a small but steady bonus income in credits, as long they hold control of the buildings. These buildings cannot be destroyed in any way; throwing C4 or firing on the MCT of neutral buildings will not disable them.
Icons on the center bottom of the screen will show the tech buildings on the map; the icon's color (or side) reflects the team which is in possession of the building; yellow for GDI, and red for Nod.
List of Tech Bulidings
Tiberium Silo
Communications Center (very small version, not the original from C&C Renegade)
EMP Cannon
Abandoned Weapons Factory

All Religious Language Is Meaningless - Discuss
One of the problems surrounding religious language is that it is sometimes extremely difficult to understand religious concepts as we have no experience of them. For example, as humans, how are we meant to fully understand the idea of God's 'omnipotence' as there is no way for us to experience such things on earth? As a result, many question whether or not religious language has meaning as it is not possible for us to understand

Evolution of Games Industry
and Its Jobs
Like many, my love first began in the 90's for video games industry, from the Game Boy to my Nintendo 64. Playing the likes of Pokémon Blue and Spyro, in fact, I remember being mesmerized by how cool and great the graphics were! – But when I look back now at some of those graphics and designs that I had once thought were out of this world and compare them to that of the Next Gen consoles, I think to myself just how much things have changed and somewhat improved massively on the games industry. Some other loves appear for all games styles and way to game too, you can see more about this amazing games at online-casino.ie
Evolution of Games Industry and Its Jobs
Take my favorite game of the past 18-years, the FIFA series, it is for me where my true love for games first hit home – FIFA 98 to be exact, the game was superb.
I played with the likes of Romario, Rivaldo, Zidane and more, and thought it was the best graphics as I sat there every Saturday and played my heart out, 24-0, 30-0 (It totally wasn't on amateur, I promise!)
Then we come to now as we see the amazing graphics brought to you by Electronic Arts for their latest edition FIFA 17 and they just are not comparable!
Now I must admit, it makes you question where does this relate to my industry of Games Recruitment?
Well, actually it relates massively because due to the sheer brilliance of games, their technologies, and designs in the current market, it has meant that there has been an increase and a bigger need for employees for game studios and game developers.
The wave of top games on the 'Next Gen' consoles as well as PC and handheld has meant that there has been a big increase in the number of studios and the funding getting pumped into them. Not to mention how many independent developers around the world are picking up big name games, the likes of Sumo Digital with Hitman and Playground Games with the Forza Horizon series.
Not only that but it's an industry that can offer some of you the best opportunities from your own house! With remote work becoming more and more popular among some of the big companies in the industry. Imagine that when you were 12 and sat there thinking I love games, I'd love to work in games but not leave my house. Well, now that can be a reality and not just a dream!
With the boom in new studios and more possibilities to work in and out of the house, in-turn it has resulted in many more jobs being created and available for all kinds of Games enthusiasts from Designers, to coders all the way to QA Testers. Even in the past five years, we've noticed a massive boom in the industry and the way it has begun its evolution to the heights it currently finds itself in. In fact, a study from TIGA has indicated that the UK industry is in a period of healthy growth, with employment, revenues and tax contributions up across the board over the last year.
With that being all said and done, if reading this has inspired you to start working closely in the games space, whether that be working alongside me at Creative Personnel talking to top quality games people or if you are an aspiring or a current Games Artist, Coder or Designer, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.

According to a Forbes/Forbes woman article (august 2012 by Alice Walton) sugar has been a major player in the health and obesity issues facing our nation (as it continues to be today). In 1822 the average American consumed 20 pounds of sugar a year and in 2012 that number jumped to 130 pounds! Today according to the American Heart Association Men should not exceed 9 teaspoons a day of added sugar (sugars not naturally occurring in whole foods such as fruit, milk etic) and women should not exceed 6 teaspoons of added sugars.

Q: variable transformation friends,
I want to use regression for prediction purposes with a sample of over 20k.
I have the following results for the OLS with adj R-squared of 0.64:

my first question is: can I say that the normality of the residuals is not significantly violated?
Also, when I used a transformation such as SQUARE for the dependent variable, the Adjusted R-squared improved to 0.71 but residual by predicted plot got a bell-shaped pattern. my question is that can i use that transformation just because it improved my adjusted R-squared? Is that a sign of some thing specific?
Thanks

Q: Error: [ng:areq] Argument 'AuthCtrl' is not a function, got undefined This issue has been posted a few times but I cannot seem to find the error within my code. Can somebody help spot the issue in my code?
Below is my app.js file

'use strict';

/**
 *jslint node:true
 * @ngdoc overview
 * @name impApp
 * @description
 * # impApp
 *
 * Main module of the application.
 */
/*global Firebase, angular*/

angular
    .module('impApp', [
        'ngMessages',
        'ngResource',
        'ngRoute',
        'ngSanitize',
        'ngTouch',
        'firebase'
    ])
  .config(function ($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider
      .when('/main', {
        templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
        controller: 'MainCtrl',
        controllerAs: 'main'
      })
      .when('/', {
        templateUrl: 'views/login.html',
        controller: 'AuthCtrl',
        controllerAs: 'auth'
      })
      .when('/about', {
        templateUrl: 'views/about.html',
        controller: 'AboutCtrl',
        controllerAs: 'about'
      })
      .otherwise({
        redirectTo: '/'
      });
  });

Secondly, this is my controller contents on "auth.js":

'use strict';

/*global Firebase, angular, console*/

angular.module('impApp')
    // Re-usable factory that generates the $firebaseAuth instance
    .factory("Auth", function ($firebaseAuth) {
        var ref = new Firebase("https://impl.firebaseio.com");
        return $firebaseAuth(ref);
    })
    .controller('AuthCtrl', function ($scope, $http, Auth) {
    // Listens for changes in authentication state
        Auth.$onAuth(function (authData) {
            $scope.authData = authData;
        });

        // Logs in a user with email & password
        $scope.login = function () {
            Auth.authWithPassword({
                email    : $scope.email,
                password : $scope.password
            }, function (error, authData) {
                if (error) {
                    console.log("Login Failed!", error);
                } else {
                    console.log("Authenticated successfully with payload:", authData);
                }
            });
        };

// Logs out the logged-in user
        $scope.logout = function () {
            Auth.$unauth();
        };
    });

Finally, I have outlined the "login.html" contents:

    <form class="form-signin">

Please Sign In

      <input type="text" class="form-control" name="username" ng-model = "username" placeholder="Email Address" required="" autofocus="" />
      <input type="password" class="form-control" name="password" ng-model = "password" placeholder="Password" required=""/>

      <button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" type="submit" ng-click="login()">Login</button>
    </form>

A: Thank you Pierre-Alexandre. Adding the link to the js file in the index.html resolved this issue.

Ten dead whales found on Indonesian beach, one saved by locals
30 July 2020, 7:48 am ·1-min read
Locals rushed to push an eleventh member of the stricken pod across the baking sands and back into the ocean
Ten whales were found dead on an Indonesian beach Thursday, officials said, with images showing locals rushing to push a still-living member of the stricken pod back into the sea. The marine mammals, ranging from 2-6 metres (6.5-20 feet) in length, were found in the remote province of East Nusa Tenggara, the head of the region's water conservation agency Ikram Sangadji told AFP. Footage showed a group of around 10 men struggling to push an eleventh member of the pod across the baking sands and back into the ocean. They eventually managed to get the creature -- which was scarred with deep cuts -- into the water, and it appeared to swim off by itself, prompting loud cheers from the group. Officials had concluded the stricken pod were likely short-finned pilot whales, Sangadji said. Short-finned pilots are highly social and are often involved in mass strandings, although scientists are still unclear as to why. Residents helped dig graves to bury the carcasses of the ten dead whales, which were lashed with cuts likely caused by the creatures coming into contact with sharp rocks, Sangadji added. Cross-currents off beaches pose a danger to whales as they can get caught between reefs close to shore. Last week, a giant 23-metre blue whale washed up near a beach near East Nusa Tenggara's capital city Kupang. Seven pilot whales were found dead near Kupang last October.
