Friend to Tenants and Landlords – Letting Agents
As houses age, owners replace them. The residents can then return to the location. To accomplish this, the occupants move to a temporary residence. A contractor demolishes the old structure and builds a new one on the grounds. Not having moved, they enjoy the convenience of keeping the same address, telephone number, and utility accounts, as well as avoid the cost of purchasing new land. Because of the wooden construction and relatively short lifespan of Japanese houses, this is often considered cheaper than maintaining the old structure. As residential building regulations change, particularly in terms of setback requirements and coverage ratios, rebuilding on the same site can potentially result in a house significantly smaller than the original. A common pattern is to rebuild on the same site.
This is not the case in Hokkaido and the northern part of Honshū, one night in bangkok due to the cold winters there. Insulated and centrally heated homes in the northern part of Japan are warmer than many homes in warmer parts of Japan and often use double-pane glass. This is not the case for the newer buildings as they are insulated and built with insulated glazing. The simplest kerosene burner has a tank for fuel, a mantle, and a control dial.
Cheater plug adapters are readily available to convert such 3-pin plugs and so allow their use in all types of 2-pin sockets. Lighting equipment, like heaters, is normally the provenance of the occupant. Since 2005, new Japanese homes are required to have 3-pin earthed outlets for connecting domestic appliances. This rule does not apply for the outlets not intended to be used for domestic appliances, but it is strongly advised to have 3-pin outlets throughout the home.
Hot water usually comes from a gas or kerosene heater. These eco-friendly electric water heaters heat the water in a tank during mid night hours (when electricity is cheapest) for use the following day. One heater may supply both bath and kitchen. Its gas supply may be from a municipal utility or from LP (Liquid Petroleum) tanks on site. The typical Japanese water heater is tankless and heats water on demand. Recently, electric water heaters (eco-friendly ones) have been introduced for home owners. The heater is usually located outdoors (at least in warm climates). However, many homes have two or more heaters.
