Not just for business use! How to use monthly apartments
When you hear the term "monthly apartments," you probably imagine them being used for business purposes, such as for business trips or when someone is relocating away from home.
However, in reality, monthly apartments are used for a variety of purposes other than business.
As a temporary residence while renovating your home
When rebuilding or renovating your home, you may need to be away for a few weeks.
Monthly apartments are extremely useful in times like these.
Monthly apartments have many rooms with layouts that can accommodate multiple people, making them perfect for temporary housing for families. Furniture and appliances are provided, so you can live your normal life in a temporary residence.
As a space for hobbies and personal businesses
Recently, there has been an increase in cases where monthly apartments are used as space for hobbies or personal businesses.
A space where you can immerse yourself in your work, either by yourself or with someone else, is a luxury.
If you stay in a monthly apartment that comes with furniture and appliances, you can rest assured even if work continues into the night.
As a trial residence before starting to live alone
Living alone for the first time can be a little intimidating.
In such cases, you could try practicing living alone in a monthly apartment.
With a monthly apartment, you don't have to pay any initial fees such as a deposit or key money, and you don't have to buy new furniture or appliances. You can try living alone just by paying the monthly rental fee.
It's also a great way to get a feel for the atmosphere of a city you'd like to live in.
As a trial period before moving in together
If two people who have never lived together before start living together, it is recommended that they do a trial period in a monthly apartment.
Although monthly apartments tend to be thought of as being for single people, there are actually plenty of properties available for multiple people. Why not try out a monthly apartment first, in order to get a feel for the house and town you will be living in together?

A base for job hunting and university entrance exams
Monthly apartments can also be used as a base for job hunting or university entrance exams.
Job hunting and university entrance exams are stressful enough.
Furthermore, if you have to work hard away from home, you won't be able to relax and you'll end up exhausted both physically and mentally.
Staying in a different business hotel for each exam can be unsettling, so having a base in a monthly apartment that you can use for anywhere from a week to several months gives you peace of mind.
In order to concentrate on your exams, we recommend that you use a monthly apartment where you can relax like at home.
