2pints-mate 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 That sounds very suspect. What's actually involved in "recontracting" other than printing off another agreement and signing it? Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 My point exactly Two Pints. Am going down to the estate agents tonight to find out and try and work a way around it. Maoriboy<<< Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have never heard of that one at all but it sounds very annoying. Something to look forward to perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
fjef 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 A re-contracting fee is normal (at least in Tokyo) practice and Japanese pay it too - even if it is technically not required. A few times when I have protested my wife made it very clear that I shut up about it. Since moving out of Tokyo, we have made sure before signing a contract that we won't have to pay to extend the contract. I suspect that this and key money will disappear along with 1/2 the population of Japan in the next 30 years... Link to post Share on other sites

If you have a poke around, you should be able to find an 'Override' button on there somewhere. It can be useful for occasions like that, but pressing it unnecessarily can lead to malfunction.

slow 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 My recontract is coming in May. I'm living here for 4years now and don't want to pay one month reikin again. I've been looking for a condo near the beach, somewhere I can see the ocean from the window. It's my dream. Link to post Share on other sites
lin 0 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Will you pay it slow? Link to post Share on other sites
slow 0 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Yes, I will pay it. It's normal here in Tokyo. When I buy a condo near the beach and will rent that place to someone else, I'll ask one month reikin every two years, too. Link to post Share on other sites
