English-Speaking Property Management in Chiba
Chiba is where many international owners find space and value near Tokyo — the Boso Peninsula's surf towns, quiet coastal villages, and countryside akiya, all within reach of Narita Airport. MonoHaus manages Chiba property for owners overseas, in English.
The prefecture's long coastline is a draw and a challenge: sea air and typhoons are hard on buildings, and rural homes here can sit empty for long stretches. We provide the regular, hands-on care — inspections, storm prep, garden work — that keeps a Chiba property from slipping into disrepair.

What Chiba property needs
Exposed coastline
Boso's Pacific coast takes the full force of typhoons and salt air. We prioritise pre-storm prep and rapid post-event inspection for coastal Chiba homes.
Narita gateway
Chiba's airport access makes it practical for overseas owners to visit — we keep the home aired out, warm, and ready for your arrival.

Property management in Chiba — FAQ
- Our Boso house was damaged in the 2019 typhoon. How do you prepare it now?
- Typhoon Faxai in September 2019 tore roofs off across southern Chiba and left many areas without power for a long time. Before each typhoon season we check roof tiles and sheet metal, shutters and anything loose in the garden, and point out trees leaning toward the house or power lines. After a storm we photograph any damage for your insurance claim and get repairs quoted.
- Bamboo and weeds are taking over our rural Chiba plot. Can you deal with that?
- On empty Boso plots, bamboo and grass can spread fast, and it isn't long before neighbours complain about it crossing boundaries. We arrange cutting on a seasonal schedule and send before-and-after photos. Where bamboo has spread widely, we get a quote for proper clearance so that you can approve it first.
- Is liquefaction a concern for our condo near Tokyo Bay?
- Parts of the bay area, including Urayasu, saw liquefaction in the 2011 earthquake. We can check the city's hazard information for your address and, after a significant quake, inspect the building's surroundings, entrances and drains for settlement or cracking. Questions about the building's structure go to the management company or a qualified engineer.
- How much does property management in Chiba cost?
- Plans run from ¥14,000 to ¥42,000 per month depending on how often we visit — quarterly, every other month, or monthly. The right cadence depends on your Chiba property's type, age, and condition. Rental management is 5% of rent, and renovation is quoted separately.
