Examples of troubles related to private lodging

Updated: July 2026, 8

Unlike hotels and inns, private lodging often does not have clear "regulations" regarding accommodation, and problems continue to occur because both the lender and the renter consider the level of things based on their own values ​​and experiences. Ta. With the enforcement of the new Private Lodging Act, the rules may be reviewed and gradually improved, but first let's take a look at what kind of trouble actually occurs.

Problems faced by the lender

・An ornament placed in the room was destroyed.
・The room was very messy.
・I was able to take home all the consumables and equipment I had prepared.
・I told them that smoking was not allowed in the room, but they smoked.
・There was no contact and I was way past the reservation time and wasted time handing over the keys.
・I hit it off with another guest and made a fuss.

Problems faced by the renter

・I could not contact the landlord on the day of my stay and was unable to enter the room until late at night.
・The photo of the room I was shown in advance and the room I actually stayed in were very different.
・The conditions communicated verbally at the time of reservation and the conditions of the landlord when I actually went to stay were different, and I was unable to take a bath, or I was unable to rent a room and had to sleep in the living room.

Trouble with neighbors

・The resident of a room in an apartment became the landlord and rented a private lodging room for a fee in a shared guest room.
・There were complaints from residents who smoked and drank on the balcony of their condominiums and who were not staying at private lodging facilities.
・The police were called because there was a commotion caused not only by people talking but also by loud music being played.

Problems like the ones mentioned above actually occur at private lodging facilities. Furthermore, there are cases of serious accidents, including fatal accidents. When such an accident occurs, if you are renting a room illegally, do not explain things that should be explained, or neglect to check, it can develop into a very big problem. Be sure to comply with all laws and regulations and start your private lodging business correctly.
