Almost all apartment leases in Japan require a guarantor "rentai hoshonin" (a person who co-signs the lease to share liability jointly and severally) with the tenant for any debts to the lessor. Generally, Japanese students ask a family member (parent, sibling, etc.) to serve in this role. Since international students may not have someone to ask to be a guarantor, The University of Tokyo may act as your guarantor if you meet certain eligibility requirements. The application process is outlined in this page→ University Guarantor System

Here is a list of agencies that will sign lease agreements under the “University Guarantor System”. For agencies not listed here, please contact KIO beforehand if you plan on using the "University Guarantor System".
