Replacing a light bulb
Routine light bulb replacement is the tenant’s responsibility. The following options are listed from the lowest likely cost.
- Replace it yourself
You can purchase and replace it yourself. You can buy a stepladder at a low price. - Consult with the Management Office
If you cannot replace the bulb yourself, ask whether the management office can help. They may be willing to do so for a small tip. - Arranging a contractor
If neither option is possible, arrange a contractor. A call-out fee applies, so consider replacing several bulbs at the same time.

Billing and payment for electricity, water, sewage, and gas
In rental properties, utility accounts commonly remain in the landlord’s name, with the tenant paying the bills. Before paying, always check that the unit and account numbers match your home.
Even if you have made a payment, the management office may not record it correctly. For expenses paid through the management office, please send the receipt or transfer record to the management office after payment and keep the records yourself.

Arranging room cleaning, cleaners and move-out cleaning
Providers can arrange routine cleaning, deep cleaning and move-in or move-out cleaning. Your tenancy agreement may require professional cleaning on departure, so check its terms.
There is no fixed standard of “how many hours of cleaning is needed,” but the final condition of the room is what matters. Even if you hire a cleaning company, if dirt or insufficient cleaning remains, you may be asked to do additional cleaning or bear the cost.
