■ List of received questions and answers (in order of new questions / answers)

▶ Q | Are there really many romantic troubles or strange interactions caused by people looking for partners in co-ed share houses?

Since our founding, LLC-HOUSE has not had any major incidents legally recognized as harassment. However, because signs of problems can arise from differences in personal space or values in communal living, regardless of gender, we implement preventive measures from the time of contract.

■ LLC-HOUSE is not a facility intended for meeting people
LLC-HOUSE is not a facility intended for finding lovers or meeting the opposite sex, but a home for tenants to live in peace of mind. Regardless of gender, the following behaviors are not permitted.

Since dating is one form of human relationship, we do not prohibit it itself, but one must respect the other person's will and the sense of distance in communal living.

■ We review the harassment prevention clause at the time of contract
At LLC-HOUSE, we have established a “harassment prevention clause” in the items reviewed during the contract signing. In March 2021, we consulted with a specialized law firm that handles harassment cases and organized behaviors and specific examples that could occur in a share house. After a legal check, we have been publishing and operating it on our official website since May 2021.
The clause covers not only sexual harassment but also various behaviors that can occur in communal living, such as verbal abuse, denial of personality, imposition of values, and coercion.
By having tenants confirm specific examples at the time of contract, we aim to have each tenant understand in advance “what kind of behavior becomes a problem” and prevent trouble before it happens.
The harassment prevention clause has been very well received, and those who come to sign contracts (regardless of gender) have given us feedback such as “I felt relieved that this is a good management company with solid compliance awareness.”

■ You can consult about trouble or anxiety via the tenant-only LINE
If there are problems such as unpleasant invitations, sexual remarks, or persistent contact, you can contact the management company via the tenant-only LINE.
You do not have to try to solve it alone among tenants.
When we receive a consultation, we will respond as follows based on the harassment prevention clause as necessary.

Rather than immediately reaching a conclusion based on the report of only one party, we will provide the party accused of the behavior with an opportunity to explain, while being mindful of the consultant's safety and privacy, and verify the facts as objectively as possible.

■ We also define the management company's response as an obligation
The harassment prevention clause is not just a rule for residents to follow prohibitions. We also define the obligation for LLC-HOUSE to undertake the following initiatives.

Our policy is to handle issues as part of our management quality, rather than pushing residents away by saying, "Please resolve it among yourselves" when a problem occurs.

■ Residential classification by gender varies by property
The way residential areas and facilities are divided by gender depends on the building's structure. Depending on the property, there are differences such as the following:

You can check the residential classification and shared facilities of each property before applying or during a viewing.

■ For those who are anxious about living with the opposite sex, there are also women-only properties
For those who feel "anxious about living in the same building as men" or "want to use water areas and shared spaces only with other women," there is the option of women-only properties.
There is no need to force yourself to move into a co-ed property. It is important to choose a property where you can feel at ease by checking not only the rent and location, but also the floor plan, shared facilities, living rules, and consultation system.

■ Summary
At LLC-HOUSE, we operate co-ed properties not as a place for dating, but as a home where residents can live with peace of mind. We are working to prevent problems and respond early by establishing a harassment prevention clause at the time of contract, a consultation desk via a resident-only LINE, fact-checking with both parties involved, and an obligation for the management company to respond.
If you are anxious about living with the opposite sex, please check the following points before applying.

LLC-HOUSE places importance not only on low rent, but also on creating an environment where residents can continue to live with peace of mind.

▶ Q | Is it possible to move to another property without enduring it if there is someone I really don't get along with in terms of personality or lifestyle after moving into an LLC-HOUSE?

In a share house, it is impossible to confirm all human relationships and compatibility in daily life before moving in. Sometimes, after you actually start living there, you may find that your bedtime, sense of cleaning, sensitivity to sound, or living habits in the share house do not match.
As a major premise, "not getting along" is not a bad thing.Whether at work or school, it is a reality that not everyone is a member you get along with.
If you don't get along, you just think about how to deal with it.
In such cases, LLC-HOUSE does not lock you in by saying, "Once you have moved in, please endure it." If you wish to move, we provide the option to move to a different living environment by utilizing our network of over 20 properties in Tokyo.

■ First, management will check the situation
If you have any trouble regarding human relationships or lifestyle rhythms, you can consult with management via the resident-only LINE. When we receive a consultation, we will consider the following responses depending on the content.

Since moving immediately is not necessarily the only solution, we will first check the situation. However, if it is difficult to improve through discussion or caution alone, or if the person is feeling strong stress, we will not ask them to endure the same environment.

■ You can consider moving to one of our over 20 affiliated properties in Tokyo
LLC-HOUSE operates over 20 share houses in Tokyo. Therefore, compared to share houses that operate only one property, it is easier for us to propose affiliated properties with different areas, number of residents, gender composition, and room types.
For example, we will consider a move while confirming the following wishes:

However, the properties you can move to depend on the vacancy status at that time, conditions such as gender, and the desired rent or room type. It is not guaranteed that you will always be able to move to your desired property.

■ We charge 0 yen in new initial fees when moving to affiliated properties
When moving in a standard rental property, you may need to pay initial costs such as security deposits, key money, and brokerage fees again. At LLC-HOUSE, we have a system where no new initial fees are incurred when moving to affiliated properties.
Therefore, “I don't get along with the people here, but I can't afford to pay a large contract fee again” is not a reason to feel forced to continue living in your current property.
If the rent or common service fees at the new property differ from your current one, the new rates will apply.
Additionally, actual expenses associated with your move, such as moving services or transporting belongings, are separate.

■ You can consult with us about changing your living environment even if there are no troubles
Moving to an affiliated property is not a system only for when serious interpersonal conflicts occur. For example, you can also consult with us about the following life changes.

To live somewhere for a long time, we believe it is necessary to review your living environment according to changes in your life, rather than forcing yourself to adapt to the conditions at the time of move-in.

■ We will never ignore actions by individuals who cause problems
The system for moving to another property is not intended to force only the person who received the nuisance to move. If clear rule violations or nuisance behaviors are confirmed, management will issue warnings to the perpetrator or conduct an appropriateness assessment for the share house, and in some cases, we will take action including contract termination.
On the other hand, there are cases where neither party is clearly at fault, and it is simply a matter of personality or life rhythm mismatch.
In such cases, rather than making someone the villain, moving to a property where the individual can live more comfortably is a realistic solution.

■ LLC-HOUSE does not believe that "if it doesn't fit, you just have to endure it"
In communal living, you cannot perfectly predict compatibility in interpersonal relationships or life rhythms. That is why at LLC-HOUSE, we provide the option of moving to over 20 affiliated properties in Tokyo, in addition to on-site support when problems arise.
If there are vacancies and the move-in conditions are met, you can move to another affiliated property with 0 yen in new initial fees.
Even if the property you chose once doesn't fit, a feature of LLC-HOUSE is that you don't have to force yourself to endure it and can restart your life in a different environment.

▶ Q | I am extremely shy and cannot talk to people myself. If I stay in my room instead of going to the living room, will I be a "loner" and stand out?

There is no rule that says "if you live in a share house, you must get along with all the residents" or "you must interact in the living room every day."

■ That is one natural way of living
Some people imagine a life where residents are always interacting with each other from the word "share house." However, how people actually spend their time varies by tenant. For example, the following lifestyle is also perfectly fine.

At LLC-HOUSE, we do not make the amount of interaction a condition for move-in or an evaluation criterion.
Whether you want to actively engage with people or value your time alone, you can live with a sense of distance that suits you.
At LLC-HOUSE, residents may naturally become friends, but our basic policy is to leave it to their free will rather than having management demand that "everyone get along."

■ For some, interaction becomes a burden when it feels like an "obligation"
Some people find share houses that actively promote interaction and events attractive. On the other hand, we have heard the following from people who have lived in such share houses:

We hear voices like these.
Interaction itself is not bad. The problem is when, even if the person does not want to, participating becomes an implicit obligation.

■ What LLC-HOUSE values is not sociability, but consideration for communal living
Interaction is optional, but a share house is a home where multiple people share facilities. Therefore, minimum consideration for daily life is necessary. Specifically, this means things like:

What is required is not conversational skill or sociability, but following the rules so that other tenants can live with peace of mind.

■ We also respect the wish to "spend time alone"
LLC-HOUSE does not force participation in a resident community as a service, but focuses on providing a home where you can live with peace of mind without being overly bound by anyone.
From our experience of operating share houses for over 10 years, we believe that rather than trying to force interaction, allowing each tenant to choose a sense of distance that suits them leads to an environment where they can live comfortably for a long time.
Even if you are shy and not good at talking to people yourself, you can live quietly with peace of mind as long as you are considerate of the living rules. There is no need to force yourself to get along with anyone.

▶ Q | I am a company employee in my 30s. Will I cause trouble if I live in a share house with many young students or people in their 20s because our vibes might not match?

■ LLC-HOUSE is not operated on the premise of a 'youthful vibe'
When people hear 'share house,' some imagine a place where everyone interacts every day, participates in events, and young people get excited together. However, what LLC-HOUSE values is not a high-energy vibe, but rather that tenants can live while respecting each other while maintaining an appropriate sense of distance.
In reality, the following types of people are also tenants.

For those in their 30s, 'choosing a calm property' is important when selecting a share house. If you are an office worker in your 30s, we recommend checking the following points before moving in to choose an operating company.

At LLC-HOUSE, there are properties that suit not only those who seek interaction but also those who want to live calmly and those who want to avoid pushy, excessive interference.
More important than age is 'compatibility of lifestyle'. What is important in a share house is not age itself, but compatibility in lifestyle and sense of distance.
For example, there are people in their 30s who want to enjoy interacting with others, and people in their 20s who want to live quietly.
Therefore, at LLC-HOUSE, rather than 'whether you are young,' we prioritize whether you fit the atmosphere of the property, whether you can follow the rules of communal living, and whether you can respect other tenants. In summary, it is not at all a nuisance for an office worker in their 30s to move into an LLC-HOUSE share house.
Rather, working professionals with a calm sense of life often become a reassuring presence in communal living. It is important to have a living environment where you can live at a comfortable distance while valuing your own life rhythm, rather than a 'share house where you get tired because you have to conform to someone else.'

▶ Q | I'm worried that in a cheap share house with rent in the 30,000 yen range, there might be many 'weird people' or people with 'low social standards'...

What is important is not whether it is 'cheap or expensive,' but what kind of screening, rule enforcement, and trouble response the operating company performs before and after move-in.

■ What LLC-HOUSE values
At LLC-HOUSE, we value not only low rent but also maintaining a communal living environment where you can live with peace of mind. Therefore, before moving in, we confirm the contract details and rules of communal living, and if problems occur after moving in, we do not leave them alone but respond in stages. Our main approach is as follows.

■ Response to rule violators
At LLC-HOUSE, if there is behavior that inconveniences other tenants or disrupts the order of communal living (including harassment), we do not simply 'warn them and end it.'
Basically, we respond in the following flow.

In a share house, it is extremely important to protect the peace of mind of tenants who are seriously following the rules and living their lives. Therefore, we respond strictly to behavior that causes continuous inconvenience to other tenants.

LLC-HOUSE's unique approach to 'aptitude judgment'
Published on note: [Case Study] How should share house tenant trouble be handled? -- Revealing a unique management method that solves problems at the root with 'aptitude diagnosis'

At LLC-HOUSE, we do not dismiss tenant trouble as merely a matter of personality or emotional argument, but judge it from the perspective of 'Is that person adapted to the way of living called communal living?'. In fact, we have clauses in our contracts regarding aptitude judgment in communal living, and if problematic behavior continues, we conduct an interview to confirm the possibility of improvement and aptitude for communal living.

This is not to unilaterally blame the person who caused the problem. There are people who fit into a share house, and there are people who are better suited for living alone in a studio apartment.
Just like with a job,
there are pros and cons to different ways of living, so we believe it is important to choose a form that is not burdensome for both the individual and other tenants.

■ To those who are 'anxious because it's cheap'
It is natural to feel anxious about a share house in the 30,000 yen rent range.
We are often suspected (which is a bit of a problem). However, the points you should really look at are not the low rent itself, but the following three.

Based on over 10 years of experience operating more than 20 share houses in Tokyo, LLC-HOUSE manages properties to ensure a sense of security in communal living while keeping rent affordable. We also publish not only the good news but also the actual tenant troubles and the process of operational improvements on our note.
If you want to judge whether a place is "cheap but okay," we recommend that you do not just compare by rent, but look at how much the management company discloses the reality of the site and faces problems.

Regarding whether there are no troubles at other companies with higher rent than LLC-HOUSE, there is a thread dedicated to share house tenants on the information posting site 'Mansion Community'. Why not use that as a reference?
