Overview of the Kanagawa Prefecture Version Check Tool

This tool is a free web tool that checks the appropriate amount of moving-out fees for rental properties in Kanagawa Prefecture based on the standards of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's "Guidelines Regarding Disputes Related to Restoration" (Revised Edition). It provides a diagnosis that considers the characteristics of areas within Kanagawa Prefecture, including Yokohama City, Kawasaki City, and Sagamihara City.

This tool accepts the following information as input:

• Property Area Selection: Yokohama City (select from 18 wards)・Kawasaki City (select from 7 wards)・Sagamihara City・Other municipalities
• Layout: Select from 1R/1K/1DK/1LDK/2K/2DK/2LDK/3LDK or larger
• Age of Property: Select in 5-year increments, from less than 5 years old to over 30 years old
• Length of Residence: From less than 1 year to over 10 years
• Billed Repair Items and Amounts: Up to 10 items such as wallpaper replacement, flooring repair, cleaning, air conditioner cleaning, etc.

Diagnostic Results Output by the Tool

Based on the input information, the following diagnostic results will be displayed instantly.

1. Fair Amount Determination for Each Repair Item

For each billed repair item, the remaining value based on the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism guidelines' depreciation table is calculated to determine the fair amount. For example, if a full wallpaper replacement fee is billed for a 12-year-old property, the usable life of wallpaper is 6 years, so the remaining value according to the guidelines is 1 yen, and in cases of normal wear and tear, the tenant is generally not responsible.

2. Classification Display of "Normal Wear and Tear" and "Tenant Responsibility"

Normal wear and tear that occurs naturally in daily life is distinguished from damage due to tenant's intent or negligence, and an estimated burden ratio is displayed for each item. Furniture placement marks, thumbtack holes, and discoloration due to sunlight are considered normal wear and tear, and according to the guidelines, the landlord is generally responsible.

3. Summary of the Difference Between Billed Amount and Fair Amount

The total billed amount and the total fair amount calculated based on the guidelines are displayed side-by-side, clearly showing the difference. If a difference exists, you can see at a glance which items have how much difference.

4. Special Notes for Kanagawa Prefecture

Kanagawa Prefecture does not have its own ordinance for preventing disputes in rental housing (so-called "Tokyo Rule") like Tokyo does. Therefore, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism guidelines serve as the primary judgment standard for resolving disputes upon moving out. This tool, taking this into account, appends the scope and limitations of the guidelines to the diagnostic results.

Background on Moving-Out Fees in Kanagawa Prefecture's Rental Housing

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Housing and Land Survey," the number of private rental housing units in Kanagawa Prefecture is approximately 1.2 million, ranking second nationwide after Tokyo (Source: Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, 2023 Housing and Land Survey). According to the National Consumer Affairs Center, consultation cases regarding restoration of rental housing nationwide amount to 13,273 annually (Source: National Consumer Affairs Center, FY2023).

With active move-ins and move-outs due to transfers, employment, and school admissions, particularly in Yokohama City and Kawasaki City, consultation cases tend to concentrate during the moving season from March to April.
