You might be one of those thinking like this.
To get straight to the point, there are not many sharehouses whose rent is ¥20,000, including maintenance fees. Rent of the most sharehouses is usually more than ¥30,000, including maintenance fees, and sharehouses that are way too cheap might be run illegally.
However, there are many sharehouses whose rent is ¥20,000 ~ ¥30,000 range, and it’s possible to keep rent for ¥30,000 ~ ¥40,000 including maintenance fees.
Having said that, it’s still hard to know which sharehouse you can live at a low price.
In this article, we introduce 5 Hidamari’s sharehouses that are cheap to live in, including rent and maintenance fees.
・ Minumadai-Shinsuikoen [Tokyo]

Is there a sharehouse whose rent is ¥20,000, including maintenance fees?
To begin with the conclusion, there are not many sharehouses whose rent is ¥20,000, including maintenance fees.
Reasons are:
・ At least rent for a sharehouse is ¥50,000 ~ ¥60,000 on average
・ Many sharehouses are in the metropolitan area, so rent and maintenance fees tend to be higher because the cost of living is high.
・ In many cases, just maintenance fees costs from ¥10,000 ~ ¥20,000
Especially in the metropolitan area of Tokyo, even a sharehouse’s rent is not so cheap, and rent itself exceeds ¥20,000. If you look for a sharehouse whose rent includes maintenance fees, you should expect the cost would be around ¥30,000, at least.
However, there are sharehouses whose rent is around ¥20,000, even below ¥20,000. It’s possible to save on rent by living in a dormitory or a room without good facilities.
If you live in a sharehouse whose rent is ¥20,000 ~ ¥30,000, it’s possible to keep rent at a price of ¥30,000 ~ ¥40,000 including maintenance feesince you can keep the fixed cost low, you can save more money.
So, we introduce cheap sharehouses whose rent is ¥20,000 ~ ¥30,000 or whose rent including maintenance fees, is ¥30,000 ~ ¥40,000 next.
