      Everybody is against foreigners in increasing numbers, let’s not kid ourselves.

      The writing is on the wall. I started searching for better work overseas a while ago. Things in Japan will only get worse and worse for foreigners.

      Most would prefer not to rent to foreigners, what made it more like a 50/50 thing in the past was owners being afraid of getting called out for discrimination. The more normal and accepting it gets to hate on foreigners the more comfortable they will be discriminating.

      I remember back in 2007, my Japanese gf (at the time) and I had issues. Can’t imagine now

      It’s been like this for decades, although I don’t doubt it is getting worse. Real-estate listings that do allow foreigners are marked as such because the assumption is that they are not allowed.

      Anyone who still doesn’t see the writing on the wall is a lost cause

      Is it possible to just pay a year’s worth of rent up front to make renting easier?

      There are more services to help with this now, but I know it’s bad. Took my Japanese wife and I awhile with many rejections as trying to get something through summo

      This was the most obvious outcome of the increase in anti-foreigner sentiment, driven by a media and politician encouraged mass hysteria. The landlords may not be racist themselves, but if they perceive gaijin residents as a net-negative due to how other tenants react, then they’ll be reluctant to offer housing. On a long enough timeline, this is how you get ghettos and population groups that *may* struggle to assimilate into the wider culture *not because of their desire to*, but because the dominant culture refuses to have anything to do with them.

      This will get worse as Japan’s economy inevitably continues to crumble away. Their population is dwindling, akiya numbers are rising, and then when someone bothers to travel thousands of kilometers to their country, and provides much needed custom, they turn them away.

      People might not want to hear it, but if you rent to a section of society that is often fluid then rooms are not treated as nice as they should be. I used to help out the manager of a large Eikaiwa cleaning up vacated rooms for the next teachers coming in. The gross things I saw would make you gag. I would hate renting to those types. Then you get the differences in volume of music and weekend parties or times of night having bbqs on the balconies.. I dont even do meetups anymore because of the anxiety I get thinking what the neighbors must be thinking.

      They ruin it for everyone.
