Hello everyone,
I am looking for an accomodation but I am wondering how resistant they are. Let me explain, I have seen many types of structures( wooden, concrete , reinforced concrete) , that doesn't reinsure me . How resistant is, for instance, a building built in 1980-1990 with a concrete structure?
many thanks.

Single family residence - then find out which company built it - and ask. If it is important enough to know (a purchase decision?) - then get an engineering firm to make an assessment.

Totally worth it for the little Gundam Mobilephone pets. BTW.

It is just for renting , I don't wanna pay more than 150,000 yens per month for something that is not worth.
What do you think about those apartments ? http://www.tokyocityapartments.net/
They look very old but in the same time, it seems to be the only agency that allows the policy: no guarantor.
