"家賃" (yachin) is the Japanese term for "rent," which refers to the amount of money paid by a tenant to a landlord for the use of a property, such as an apartment or house. This payment is typically made monthly and can vary based on factors like location, size, and amenities of the property. In Japan, the process of paying 家賃 often involves a rental agreement that outlines the terms and conditions, including the duration of the lease and any additional fees. Tenants are usually required to pay a security deposit, known as 敷金 (shikikin), which is refundable at the end of the lease, provided there is no damage to the property.
