# Office and Residential Rental for Business in Japan — Legal Features

This section covers real-estate rental for business: the two types of residential lease contracts and the difference in tenant protection between them, weak tenant protection in commercial office leases, the risk of serviced offices whose owner can relocate the tenant unilaterally, discrimination against foreigners in rentals, sublease bans, tools for locking in renewal terms, typical rent-increase amounts, the role of paid guarantors, and a comparison of specific serviced offices for company registration.
