When you rent a room in Japan, you need to find a guarantor. Because guarantors have the same responsibility as a tenant, it is general to ask parents or close friends. However, guarantors often are required to be Japanese and it is difficult for most foreigners to find them.

TRUST NET 21 can solve this problem !!
Instead of your parents or close friends, Global Trust Networks would be your guarantor. This makes you choose your favorite room from a variety of rooms.

What's the guarantor system?

Guarantors have the same legal responsibility as a tenant. If a tenant does not pay rent to a landlord, guarantors of the tenant have to pay it on her/his behalf. This legally means that the tenant borrow money from the guarantors, the money must be repaid to the guarantors from the tenant.

Moreover, the fact that guarantors pay rent on behalf of a tenant is recorded by guarantee companies (Global Trust Networks) and real estate companies. This will make the tenant difficult to rent a new room next time. So, PLEASE pay rent by the due date.
