Apartment Inspection & Repairs

When ALTs leave their apartments, their supervisor completes a checklist confirming the condition/cleanliness of the apartment. When you arrive in Sendai, your new home should be clean and in good condition. If there are any problems with your apartment on your arrival, please ask your supervisor to note them on the checklist (we will therefore know that you were not responsible).

When it is your turn to leave the apartment, we expect it to be in good condition. ALTs may be living in the apartment for ten or more years after you, so please take good care of your home.

Repairs to apartments are the responsibility of the landlord, who can be contacted through the real estate agent (your school has the phone number) or the BOE. Repairs to BOE-supplied appliances will be arranged by us. All other repairs are your responsibility.
