Tokyo Minpaku Management FAQ
1. Can I operate minpaku in an apartment/condominium?
It is possible only if the condominium association bylaws explicitly permit vacation rentals under the Housing Accommodation Business Act. We require owners to check their building bylaws directly or through specialists before starting.
2. What if I want to operate more than 180 days per year?
While the Minpaku Act limits operations to 180 days, you can run year-round if the property is in a Special Zone or by acquiring a Ryokan Act (Simple Lodging) license. StayJP can assess feasibility and recommend the best track.
3. Will I incur cancellation fees if I switch to StayJP from another manager?
This depends on your current contract. StayJP designs a transition timeline to avoid any vacancy gap, and can coordinate the onboarding process.
4. Can I request management for a leased/rented property?
Yes, provided the lease agreement explicitly permits subleasing and vacation rental operations. Sublease consent must be acquired by the owner directly or through specialists.
5. I inherited a vacant house but have no experience. Can I outsource everything?
Yes, vacant property revitalization is one of our most common inquiries. StayJP manages OTA operations, cleaning, and guest communication post-launch. For renovations and license filings, we refer you to our network of qualified specialists.
