NOCOS uses direct rent remittance from the guarantor company to the owner, removing intermediary collection cost. Monthly remittance statements also serve as accounting evidence.
We deliberately don't run a rent-collection service.
In the conventional flow, the tenant's rent is first aggregated from the guarantor company to the management company, which then deducts fees and repair costs before remitting the balance to the owner the following month. This "the management company holds the money first" step is a labour-cost sink — and that cost has historically been passed through as part of the management fee.
NOCOS deliberately chose not to collect rent, instead routing rent directly from the guarantor company into the owner's account. By cutting out one layer of intermediary processing, we are able to offer a pricing model that starts at JPY 0 per month.
Payment Route
The same rent — whose hands it passes through, and when it lands.
Guarantor company → Management company → Owner
The management company first takes custody of rent from the guarantor company, deducts fees and expenses, and remits the balance to the owner the following month. With one extra layer of intermediary operations, remittance timing slips, the deductions are hard to track from the owner's perspective, and the labour cost flows through into the management fee.
Direct remittance from the guarantor company to the owner
Because NOCOS does not run an intermediate collection and remittance operation, that entire operational cost is removed. The guarantor company also covers shortfalls when tenants fall into arrears, so both the timing and the amount of the deposit stay stable every month.
