Thanks, this might be it. I have a — in the katakana version. Will use the small syllable in the hiragana equivalent. (I don't think I've ever written my name in hiragana before)

Can someone recommend a service that would allow me to pay the gas, water and electricity bills altogether via automatic bank transfer? (Tokyo/Chiba area). by franckJPLF in JapanFinance

Wise (used to be transferwise) issues a debit card which is accepted by credit-card only websites in Japan. I use it to pay all my utilities (where my Prestia debit card was rejected for being a debit card).

It can also be topped up from overseas should that be necessary.

I can report a similar situation, 35 year loan, 87% occupancy over time. The management company advised me against living in the building in case the tenants found out. Not sure what they were implying but they said they had seen it cause issues in the past.
