Daily Life (Points to Note After Moving In, Noise, Garbage, etc.)
If you do not fulfill the eligibility requirements and observe the restrictions (prohibited matters) written in the rental contract, this will often lead to trouble with the neighbors, and you may even be asked by the landlord to move out of the premises. Please be aware of this. Troubles arise especially if you increase the number of people living with you, let your friends borrow your home, keep pets (pets are not allowed in many places), keep your personal belongings in the hallway or stairwell, or violate the rules for garbage disposal.
Noise
If you live in a housing complex, it is important to always remember to keep the volume of noise down so that you will not be a nuisance to your neighbors. Noise from everyday living, such as conversations, TV/radio, and household noises (noise from the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, laundry machines, and vacuum cleaners), can be heard by your neighbors. Footsteps in the hallways or stairwell at night, conversations through an open window, and the opening/closing of doors can be surprisingly loud. Noises in the middle of the night particularly can cause lack of sleep. Please be careful about maintaining a peaceful and quiet environment.

Garbage
Observe the rules for garbage disposal. Separate your garbage and take it to the appropriate garbage collection site in designated containers or garbage bags on the morning of the collection day.
