Location: Osaka
Rental Duration: 5 years (continuous tenancy)
Situation: Just received an estimate from a contractor for ¥778,360

I've been living in the same apartment for 5 years with no major issues and have recently moved out. My landlord sent me this estimate for renovation work. Is this not crazy????

I'm a foreign resident and honestly confused about what my actual obligations are here.

What's on the Estimate

My Questions

• Am I actually responsible for paying this? After 5 years of normal living, shouldn't normal wear-and-tear be on the landlord?
• What can I legitimately dispute?
• Should I get other quotes to compare prices?
• Are there tenant rights protections I should know about?

Any advice appreciated. I don't want to be difficult, but this feels like a lot and I'm not sure what's reasonable.
