Procurement of Apartment

In Japan, the deposit for renting an apartment is very expensive, averaging US$3,000 just to move in. We realize this expense is quite difficult for ALTs to bear, especially when you first arrive, so the city of Sendai arranges apartments for you and pays the deposit. All you have to do is move in! 

The ALT Advisor inspects all the apartments before they are chosen to ensure that an ALT's basic needs are met. Although most apartments are small by western standards, we have done everything possible to find a comfortable, convenient place for you to live with an easy commute to work. We try our best to provide satisfactory accommodation for you.  An
average apartment is about 30m square. Larger apartments are provided for married couples. See A Typical ALT Apartment to view a clean and relatively newer ALT apartment (note: apartments don't come furnished).
