Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a system for searching for and entering into a contract for rental properties such as apartments, condominiums, and houses. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, systems that enable users to search and complete contracts on websites via the Internet have become common (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003] For example, as shown in Figure 1, a reservation site for a general hotel, inn, private lodging, etc. has web pages on its website for a search function, detailed information screen, quotation screen, applicant information input, application content confirmation, application button, application fee payment, etc., and the subject of the reservation site (the reservation site administrator) registers recruitment information received from business operators (Company A, Company B, Company C) of hotels, inns, private lodging, etc. on the website. Then, a user (reservation person) accesses the reservation site from a user terminal, searches on the website, and completes the contract by paying the application fee. The subject of the reservation site also notifies the business operators (Company A, Company B, Company C) of the reservation information and application fee received from the user, and makes the payment. In this way, in the case of reservation sites for general hotels, inns, private lodgings, etc., users can conduct searches on the website via the Internet and complete contracts.
[0004] On the other hand, in the case of lease contracts for rental properties such as apartments, condominiums, and houses, whether they are ordinary building lease contracts (ordinary lease contracts) or fixed-term building lease contracts (fixed-term lease contracts), legal regulations are imposed by the Real Estate Transaction Business Act, and therefore in agency contracts, important matters must be explained face-to-face (see Non-Patent Document 1). Therefore, although it is possible to conduct searches on a website (there are many search sites for rental properties), users (tenants) cannot complete the contract on a website via the Internet, as is the case with reservation sites for general hotels, inns, private lodgings, etc. Thus, in the case of rental contracts, even if the user (tenant) can search on a website via the Internet in an intermediary contract, if the user (tenant) is overseas, for example, it is not possible to have the important matters explained to them face-to-face, and therefore the rental contract cannot be completed on the website.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a rental property search and contract system of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0014] 2 and 3 show an embodiment of a rental property search and contract system according to the present invention. This rental property search and contract system is A user (tenant) terminal is connected via the Internet. A rental property search site constructed in a first server 1 managed by a site manager who registers rental property information received from businesses (lessors) (the site manager is the subject); A contract site for a rental property constructed in second servers 2A, 2B, and 2C managed by a business operator (lessor) (the business operator (lessor) is the subject) Equipped with After the user (tenant) selects a rental property on a rental property search site, the user enters into a rental contract for the selected rental property by electronically signing and making an online payment on the rental property contract site.
[0015] The rental property search site constructed within the first server 1 managed by the site administrator (the site administrator is the main entity) is equipped with web pages such as a search function for recruitment information received from businesses (lessors, specifically, Companies A, B, and C of rental properties such as apartments, condominiums, and houses) registered by the site administrator, and a detailed information screen.
[0016] The rental property contract site constructed within the second servers 2A, 2B, 2C managed by the business operator (lessor) (the business operator (lessor) is the main actor) is provided with web pages for quotation screens, applicant information input, contract creation, electronic signatures, online payment, etc.
[0017] Here, each web page of the rental property search site and the rental property contract site can be switched to display in English (or other original language, if necessary) in addition to Japanese, to suit the target user (tenant).
[0018] In addition, electronic signatures can be used in conjunction with general-purpose electronic signature systems to facilitate the signing of rental agreements.
[0019] The rental property contract site constructed within second servers 2A, 2B, 2C managed by businesses (lessors) (the businesses (lessors) are the main actors) is designed to have web pages with common specifications for multiple businesses (lessors) A, B, and C.

[0020] In addition, the rental property contract site can be configured so that online payments are made using a credit card payment system. By linking with a credit card payment system, the business operator (lessor) can smoothly receive payment based on the creditworthiness of the credit card. In this case, by linking the credit card payment system with a credit card rent collection guarantee service that includes a debt guarantee for rental receivables, such as iSmile (service name) by iThinkRent, the business operator (landlord) and user (tenant) can enter into a rental contract without the need for a guarantor.

[0022] In this case, the rental contract for the rental property will be concluded directly between the user (tenant) and the business operator (lessor) related to the rental property, so there is no need to have the important matters explained to them face-to-face, and the rental contract can be completed on the website. Therefore, for example, even if the user (tenant) is overseas and the important matters cannot be explained to them face-to-face, the rental contract can be completed on the website.
[0023] The above describes the rental property search and contract system of the present invention based on its embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiment, and the configuration can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the spirit of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]
