日本語

A Japanese Phrase for Asking about the rent: "家賃はいくらですか?"

"家賃はいくらですか?" means "How much is the rent?" and it's the basic Japanese expression used for asking about the rent. It's very handy when moving or looking for a place to live. To answer, you can say something like "月8万円で、管理費は別です。" (It's 80,000 yen a month, and the management fee is separate). You can keep the conversation going by reacting with something like "わかりました、見学したいです。" (Understood, I'd like to see the place).

It's 80,000 yen a month, and the management fee is separate.
