• Usually a rental agreement in Japan has a clause
  included that states that at the time of moving
  out of the rented property, it is the tenants
  responsibility to restore the apartment to its
  natural state before vacating it. This
  essentially implies that the tenant is bound to
  pay cleaning and restoration fees in lieu of any
  repair work or damage to the rented property.

• In most cases, this fee is deductible from the
  security deposit that has been submitted by the
  tenant at the time of entering the rental
  contract with the landlord or realtor. If the
  deposit amount is not enough to cover the fee,
  tenant has to pay extra amount to the landlord.

• However, it is not imperative that the tenant
  ends up paying the entire amount as demanded by
  the landlord. The restoration is applicable only
  if theres been a damage to the rented property
  either on account of tenant negligence or
  intentional harm. This fee is not applicable to
  general wear and tear of the property on account
  of daily use.

• As per Japanese real estate law, the government
  allows for a specific fee to be chargeable to
  tenants for cleaning and restoration when they
  move out. In the event of the landlord demanding
  an amount higher to the specified amount, the
  tenant can dispute it and negotiate on the asking
  amount.
• A rental agreement usually also includes a
  termination clause which states that a tenant can
  end the contract and move out of the apartment
  with an advance notice of a month or two.
  However, if the agreement includes a clause for a
  complete payment of the rent for the remaining
  contractual term in the event of an early
  agreement termination, then the tenant is liable
  to pay the amount in whole.
• Hence, it is advisable for all tenants to
  understand all clauses and terms of a rental
  contract both for entering and exiting out of it.
  And it is equally important to ensure theres a
  termination clause duly mentioned in the
  contract.
