Why Is It So Hard to Get an Apartment?

I think out of anyone I've ever met, you've had the most interesting side quests in Japan. The process of like renting an apartment or a house is so strict because they've had so many instances of tenants just fucking up and leaving. So that's one of the few reasons why like, it's so hard to get an apartment here. It was tough because you had to represent the entire nation. That's overwhelming power. And that's why I get to say all the opinions and then be like, well, if they're right or wrong, it doesn't matter.
