4.Guarantor and Referral Services

When foreigners are looking for an apartment, they have many difficulties due to the language barrier. Also, it is hard to find a reliable guarantor in Japan when they apply for a rental house. To support oversea students and researchers who stay for a certain period of time at TMU, we introduce the following guarantor company.
