In recent years, as free lifestyles have become more widespread, the number of people working as nomadic workers and enjoying workdays is increasing.
To fully enjoy this lifestyle, it would be great to have a property that you can live in for a short period of about three months.
Therefore, in this article, we will tell you whether it is possible to live in a share house even for a short period of time, and how to search for a property.
If you are considering moving into a rental property for a short period of time, please read this article to the end.
You can live in a share house for a short period of time starting from 3 months.
You can also stay in the share house for a short period of 3 months.
Depending on the property, there are also share houses where you can move in from one month.
However, there are only a limited number of management companies that accept such short-term tenancy.
You can move in for 1 month at XROSS HOUSE, so if you are looking for a property that you can move in for a short period of time, please contact us.

How to find a share house where you can live for a short period of time from 3 months
Please refer to the following for tips on finding a share house where you can move in for a short period of about 3 months.
How to find a share house that is OK for short-term stay
- Search for properties in the metropolitan area
- Search by medium to large properties
- Narrow down to properties that are OK for foreigners/students
- Search the web using the keyword "Share house 3 months short term"
Properties located in the metropolitan area and large properties have a rapid turnover of tenants, so we frequently recruit short-term tenants.
Additionally, many of the share houses that are open to foreigners and international students are designed for short-term occupancy, so we recommend narrowing your search to such properties.
If you still cannot find a share house even after trying the above methods, it is also effective to contact the share house management company directly by email or phone.

[For short-term tenants] 4 points to keep in mind when choosing a share house
Here are four points to keep in mind when choosing a property that meets your needs.
Please keep these points in mind and enjoy a wonderful share house life.
Point 1: Clarify the purpose of moving in
First of all, it is important to clarify your purpose for moving into a share house.
By choosing a property according to your purpose, you can have a better share house life.
For example, if you are a nomad worker and have business to do, you will need to choose a shared house with a private room with a desk and an environment where you can concentrate on work.
In addition, if you are planning a long-term trip or sightseeing, it would be a good idea to choose based on the location of the property.
Also, some share houses are managed with concepts such as ``women only'' and ``travelers welcome,'' so choosing one from these perspectives is one way.
The property you should live in will differ depending on the purpose of your short-term stay, so it is important to clarify your wishes and goals before choosing a property.
Point 2: Check the contract period
Once you have found a potential property, first check the contract period.
Even if the property is marked as ``Short-term occupancy allowed,'' there are cases in which a short-term contract may not be approved depending on the occupancy situation and timing.
Therefore, it is important to contact the operating company directly to obtain the latest information.
Point 3: Check contract conditions, property rules, and campaigns
When choosing a property, don't forget to check the contract terms, property rules, and campaigns.
Cleaning services and rules for shared houses vary depending on the property, so be sure to check these carefully to avoid any trouble after moving in.
Additionally, there are often campaigns such as ``half price rent'' and ``free rent,'' and by taking advantage of these campaigns, you can move in at a reasonable price.
Please contact us regarding the campaigns currently being carried out at XROSS HOUSE.

Point 4: Choose a property with sufficient facilities
When choosing a property, another important point to keep in mind is to check whether the property has sufficient facilities.
Especially when moving in for a short period of time, you want to reduce the burden of moving.
Check the furniture and home appliances installed in the property and choose a property that is fully equipped.
Below is an example of the furniture, home appliances, and daily necessities that are provided in the share house.
Examples of furniture and home appliances in a share house
- washing machine
- refrigerator
- air conditioner
- Bed (depending on property)
- Table, chair, desk (for private room)
- Range/oven/rice cooker
- Hairdryer
- tv set
- Vacuum cleaner
Examples of daily necessities in a share house
- Soap/detergent
- tissue/toilet paper
- Cooking utensils such as pots and frying pans
- Cleaning products
If the property is fully equipped with furniture, home appliances, daily necessities, etc., you will not only be able to avoid the burden of moving, but also reduce the various expenses associated with moving in.

Miscellaneous costs of living in a share house
Here, we will introduce the average cost of living in a share house based on the assumption that you will be living in the Tokyo area.
First of all, please see the table below for the initial costs required to move into a share house.
Example of initial cost when moving into a share house [Tokyo area] If the rent is 58,000 yen
| breakdown | cost |
| Rent (including common area fees) | 58,000 yen |
| deposit | 00,000 yen |
| Brokerage fee | none |
| Guarantee company usage fee | none |
| fire insurance premium | none |
| key replacement fee | none |
| Contract fee | 30,000 yen |
| total | 88,000 yen |
Shared houses have lower initial costs compared to regular rental properties such as apartments and condominiums.
This is a particularly nice point for those who live in a property for a short period of time.
Also, please refer to the table below for the average monthly living expenses in a share house.
Monthly share house fee [Tokyo area] If the rent is 58,000 yen
| breakdown | In the case of a shared house |
| Rent (including common area fees) | 58,000 yen |
| Water and utility costs | Included in common expenses |
| Daily necessities | Share house equipment |
| Wifi | Share house equipment |
| Other expenses | System usage fee 1,100 yen |
| total | 59,100 yen |
Shared houses are equipped with daily necessities, and utilities are often included in the common expenses, so monthly charges tend to be lower than living in a regular rental property.

Options if you want to stay for about 3 months other than in a shared house
Finally, we will introduce options for short-term stays other than shared houses.
See below for details.
Options if you want to stay for a short period of time
- monthly apartment
- guest house
- Rent subscription service
Monthly condominiums are condominiums that allow you to move in on a monthly basis.
Like shared houses, they are often equipped with furniture and home appliances, but the monthly rent is around 150,000 yen, which is relatively expensive compared to shared houses.
A guest house is a type of accommodation and is often used by travelers.
Some accommodations allow long-term stays of one month or more, and the cost per night is around 3,000 yen.
Rent subscription service is a service that allows you to live in properties located all over the country for a fixed monthly fee.
The advantage is that you can live in the area of your choice and there are no restrictions on the length of stay, but the disadvantage is that you may not be able to live in the property of your choice if there are no vacancies.
If you are looking to move in for a short period of about 3 months, we recommend a share house!
