'Overpaid Move-out Cost Diagnosis' Adds Estimate Item Checker ── AI Judges Validity of Management Company Quotes Just by Uploading

Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) announces the addition of an 'Estimate Item Checker' to its AI move-out cost appropriate diagnosis service, 'Overpaid Move-out Cost Diagnosis' (https://taikyo.xyz). The new feature allows AI to evaluate each item on the estimate provided by a property management company.

### Few People Can 'Read' a Move-out Cost Estimate

According to statistics from the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan, consultations regarding troubles when moving out of rental housing amount to approximately 13,273 cases annually (Source: National Consumer Affairs Center of Japan, FY2023). When receiving an estimate from a management company upon moving out, very few tenants can judge whether items such as 'cleaning fees', 'wallpaper replacement', or 'flooring repair' are reasonably priced.

### How the New Feature Works

The Estimate Item Checker uses AI to judge the validity of each item simply by inputting the contents of the estimate.

**Input Method**
* Manually input each item and amount from the estimate
* Input property information (floor plan, size, period of residence)

**Check Results**
The following is displayed for each item:
* **Judgment**: 3-tier rating of Appropriate / Slightly Expensive / Needs Confirmation
* **Guideline Standard**: Reasoning based on the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) guidelines
* **Application of Wear and Tear**: Whether a reduction based on the length of residency is reflected
* **Possibility of Landlord Burden**: Pointing out instances that fall under normal wear and tear

### Basis of Judgment

The checker's judgments are based on the MLIT's 'Troubles and Guidelines Regarding Restoration to Original Condition'. For example:
* **Wallpaper replacement**: Service life of 6 years. If lived in for over 6 years, the residual value guideline is 1 yen (Source: MLIT Guidelines)
* **Normal wear and tear**: Sunburns, pushpin holes, and furniture placement marks are generally the landlord's burden
* **Cleaning fees**: Confirming the appropriateness of the amount when special clauses exist

### Differences from Previous Diagnostic Features

While previous diagnostic features provided a rough check on 'whether the overall move-out cost is high', the new Item Checker specifically identifies 'which items are overpriced and by how much'. This enables tenants to point out specific items during confirmations with the management company.

If you have received a move-out cost estimate, please use the Item Checker to verify the validity of each item.

* This service does not constitute legal advice. Please consult with professionals such as lawyers for specific negotiations or legal procedures.
