<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nDeterioration over time refers to the decline in quality over time. For example, the color of walls or flooring may fade due to exposure to sunlight, or seals and gaskets in equipment may deteriorate depending on the environment. These reductions in quality are considered deterioration over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, it is important to remember that normal wear and tear refers to scratches and stains that occur naturally as a result of everyday living, such as dents in floors and carpets caused by placing beds or furniture, or electrical burns on the wall behind a washing machine or television. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the guidelines, repair costs due to deterioration over time and normal wear and tear are generally the responsibility of the landlord (lessor). This is because such costs are considered to be included in the rent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if there are special clauses in the rental agreement regarding restoration to the original condition, those special clauses will take precedence. Therefore, it is advisable to review the rental agreement again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What are the costs for restoration to the original condition? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.villagehouse.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image5-16.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhen renting a property, tenants (lessee) must restore the property to its original condition. According to the guidelines, this obligation means that if the damage is caused by intentional actions, negligence, or a failure to clean, the tenant is considered responsible for the repairs and must pay for the repair costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, scratches on the flooring or walls caused by moving furniture or water stains or mold in the bathroom or toilet due to neglect. Additionally, yellowing or odors on walls caused by smoking are not naturally occurring and therefore fall under the tenant’s responsibility to restore the property to its original condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n- Marks from thumbtacks or pins <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Holes or marks from the installation of the tenant’s air conditioner <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Marks from posters or thumbtack holes are considered normal wear and tear. However, if the baseboard is damaged in any way, the tenant will likely be responsible for the repair costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Floors (Flooring) and Tatami<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Discoloration of flooring or tatami due to sun exposure <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Dents in the floor caused by furniture or electrical appliances <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Dents or marks from furniture are considered normal wear and tear. However, scratches, rust marks, or color transfer caused by furniture are the tenant’s responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n- Deterioration of faucet gaskets <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Deterioration of the ignition switch on the kitchen stove <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Water stains or mold in the bathroom and grease stains around the kitchen can be prevented with regular cleaning. Therefore, if the stains are severe, the tenant may be responsible for the repair costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n- Naturally occurring heat cracks in wire-reinforced glass <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Leaks due to building deterioration <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
A common issue is heat cracks in wire-reinforced glass, which are prone to occur due to temperature differences. These often occur naturally on winter mornings but can also be caused by hot air from a hairdryer or air conditioner. There are cases where it may be determined that the heat cracks were caused by the tenant so caution is necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe longevity or service life (also called durability period) refers to the period from when the equipment is newly installed until it loses its value. The guidelines define it as “the period until its value is reduced to 1 yen due to deterioration over time.” Repair costs that tenants are responsible for are calculated based on the equipment\u2019s service life and the duration of occupancy, so if repair costs arise, the decrease in property value due to the passage of time will not be charged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, if a piece of equipment has a service life of six years, and its value when it was new is 100%, after three years its value will drop to 50%. If the total repair costs are \u00a5150,000, the tenant will only have to pay 50%, or \u00a575,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The service life of wallpaper is 6 years. Therefore, even if it was replaced when you moved in, you will not have to pay for repair costs if you have lived there for 6 years. However, please note that if the wallpaper becomes dirty due to smoking, the tenant will be responsible for the repair costs regardless of the service life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The costs of repairs will be deducted from the security deposit <\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.villagehouse.jp\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image6-20.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAny repair costs other than those related to deterioration will be deducted from the security deposit, and any remaining balance will be refunded. However, it is not uncommon for additional charges to be incurred if the repair costs exceed the security deposit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following are repair costs that are commonly charged: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flooring and Tatami<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Stains or dirt from drinks or food <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Scratches caused by moving furniture <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Dirt or scratches caused by pets, etc. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Walls (Wallpaper)<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Stains or odors from cigarette tar <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Dirt or mold caused by neglecting cleaning <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Holes from thumbtacks or nails that require replacement of the baseboard, etc. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Water Areas<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Water stains or mold caused by neglected cleaning <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n- Cracks or scratches in the toilet, bathtub, sink, etc. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you neglect cleaning and let your room get dirty, the repair costs can become quite high. To minimize the repair costs of restoration to its original condition, make sure to clean it frequently whenever you notice any dirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
