！ Once you have decided to move to Houston, … here are some tips to help you find and sign a rental contract smoothly.

Once you have decided to relocate to Houston, here are some tips to help you find a house ！
and sign a rental contract smoothly.

① Find the right real estate agent for you
Renting property （ both apartments and houses ） can be done without a real estate agent.
If you know the location and can negotiate on your own, you may be able to communicate on your own without a real estate agent.
However, the rental agreement may be complicated and difficult to understand, and negotiations may not go smoothly ？ so it is important to find a real estate agent who can meet your needs.
It is best to find someone who has a good understanding of the rental situation in the area, the living environment in the area, the schools, etc., so that the process goes smoothly.
Please find a real estate agent who is a good fit for you by contacting them by email, phone, or talking to them on ZOOM, etc.
***In most cases in Texas right now, the landlord （ apartment ） pays the brokerage fee, so in that case, the tenant （ tenant ） does not have to pay the brokerage fee***

② Is an apartment better ？ or a house ？
For example, if you are a single person, you don't need to live in a house, which tends to be complicated to repair.
If you have a large family, an apartment is too small and you will need a detached house.
You should think about what you are looking for ？ first.
For example, if you are in Houston, detached properties are much harder to find in the Houston area, so the probability is that you will live in the Houston suburbs or near suburbs, such as Houston.

③ If you have children, the most important thing ？ is which school district you live in
As you probably know, if you have children, the most important thing ？ is where you live.
Here you can find school ranks and other information on the following website to find out how schools are rated.
However, you should not only choose a school based on these ratings, but you also need to actually contact the school and check the school's staff and the availability of ESL programs, etc., if your child does not speak English. Once you have actually arrived,

https://www.schooldigger.com/
https://www.niche.com/k12/search/best- school-districts/s/texas/
https://txschools.gov/
https://www.har.com/school

④ To be able to open a bank account in the US immediately
Whether you are renting an apartment or a house, you will usually need to pay a one or two month deposit （ and one month's rent （ ） before you can move in.
Open a bank as soon as you arrive in the U.S., even if you can bring in cash.

⑤ Prepare proof of employment and other documents
This can be done after you have arrived, but you will be asked for proof of income for both apartment units.
If you are going to a new place of employment, many companies will accept a certificate of employment from the company as proof of income, so it is important to discuss this with the human resources department and be prepared to have it issued immediately upon your arrival.

We provide consistent support in Japanese from consultation （ before you come to the U.S. ） through e-mail, ZOOM, etc. and after you come to the U.S., we provide utility information and **utility support so that everything goes smoothly from property guidance, contract negotiations, to moving in. Utility support is available for a fee. ***Utility support is available for a fee.
Please contact us when you decide to move to Houston.
