Leopalace monthly contract or lease?
Our estimate for a Tokyo room at the median prices: a lease at ¥96,000 rent, left early, against a monthly contract at ¥288,000 per 30 days.
| Stay | Lease, all in | Monthly contract, before the adjustment charge |
|---|---|---|
| 1 month | ¥489,380 to ¥509,990 | ¥348,500 |
| 2 months | ¥595,594 to ¥616,204 | ¥636,500 |
| 3 months | ¥701,808 to ¥722,418 | ¥924,500 |
| 6 months | ¥1,020,450 to ¥1,041,060 | ¥1,788,500 |
The lease column adds key money, cleaning, insurance, key exchange, the guarantor fee (100% to 120%), each month's bill with the ¥524 debit fee, and a month's rent for leaving within a year. It leaves out optional items. The monthly column leaves out the rank adjustment charge (¥13,530 in Leopalace's example), which a store quotes per room. Utilities are included only in the monthly column.
Oakhouse and XROSS HOUSE totals for 1 to 12 months, set against this lease, are on monthly apartment in Tokyo or a lease.

Living in a Leopalace monthly room
Leopalace's rate tables (dated 2023) say they apply to non-residential use, such as a second home. If you will live in the room and register it as your address, ask the store which rate applies.
A monthly contract is paid up front, so there is no monthly bank debit to set up. When you are ready for a lease, see what Leopalace asks foreign applicants for and what a lease costs.

Accounts from Reddit and Japanese sites about this topic. They are personal and unverified, and they describe different buildings.
Enjoys the keyless smartphone and PIN lock, built-in washer, two-burner IH cooker, microwave, fridge, TV, air conditioner and table. High ceilings make it feel less cramped.
The room is ideal for someone on a work posting, but the walls are very thin: a neighbor’s alarm clock woke the author. Not recommended for stays beyond a year.
Likes monthly places such as Leopalace for being no nonsense: you pay the monthly rate plus a cleaning fee, and that is it.
