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?
The Minpaku Act has an annual 180-day limit. Special Zone Minpaku and Inns and Hotels Act operations require location- and facility-specific certification or permits. StayJP does not file applications or decide legal eligibility; we can introduce a qualified administrative scrivener when needed.
3. Will I incur cancellation fees if I switch to StayJP from another manager?
The owner should first confirm the termination terms and OTA account permissions under the current contract. We then review the bookings, cleaning setup, handover items, and proposed start date. We do not guarantee zero vacancy or review retention.
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. What remains the owner's responsibility after outsourcing a vacant property?
StayJP handles post-launch OTA operations, guest communication, and cleaning coordination according to the plan. The owner retains notification or permit work, decisions about the property and equipment, and cost approvals. We do not handle renovations or applications, but can introduce qualified specialists when needed.
