3. Tohoku University International Student Housing Rent Joint Guarantor Program

The Tohoku University International Students Support Association provides a system that the Association acts as a joint guarantor when international students rent a private apartment. If you wish to apply for this system, please be sure to be enrolled in Comprehensive Renters’ Insurance for Foreign Students Studying in Japan and obtain the consent of your academic advisor in advance. The application process takes some time, so you must apply at least one month before you plan to move in. The guarantee period is effective while the student is in Tohoku University.
