We are supposed to give an extra one month rent here when signing a contract as thankyou money to the landlord for letting you stay there.
At least you can usually argue out of it as it isn't a legal requirement, just custom. I don't think I have ever actually paid it, but it is still a hassle.

What the actual fuck
Japan right? It's such fucking bullshit
Yup! Good old key money.
You can usually get out of it, but the fact that it's kind of accepted without second thought is really annoying.
