How renting works

No. Every listing is open to browse. You need an account to contact a listing company, save homes, or see an exact address that a company has shared with you.

The company that listed the home. They handle viewings, applications and the lease. OKI HOMES lists homes; it isn't a real estate broker and isn't affiliated with the U.S. military.

On a move-in-ready home, use Request a viewing. Your request goes to the listing company, and they get back to you.

The home is still being prepared — for example, waiting on a base inspection or relisting — so it can't be shown yet. You can send a question, or join the waitlist if the company has one open.

Applications are by invitation. After you've talked with the listing company, they can send you an application form. It shows up on the listing and in your account.

Each listing shows the rent and, where the company has entered them, the deposit, key money, lock change and cleaning fees — all in yen. If a broker handles the home, a broker's commission is added. Ask the listing company for the total due at signing.

It's the inspection status the listing company has on record for the home: current, applied for, or none. Check with your base housing office about what your move requires.

Some companies show only the area until they share the address. Once you're signed in, you can request it from the listing.

Yes. Save what you're looking for, and listing companies can send you homes that fit.
