The owner of the house I moved out of has not refunded my deposit.
It has been over a month since I moved out of my previous house and my deposit has not been refunded.
I have also contacted them on line and have not received a reply.
The owner lives in Japan and I have no address or phone number and am very confused.

What should I do in such a case ？
Also, if you know what to do if the LINE is blocked, please let me know.

Hello.
That is a very troubling situation.
I am an owner renting out a house in Hawaii.
Normally, you are obligated to refund the deposit within 14 days of the end of the contract.
It depends on what the rental agreement says.
If you don't have any contact information other than LINE, you were renting through an acquaintance
？
In the meantime, you should prepare the contract, proof of payment and messages you have exchanged
.
I think it would be a good idea if you prepare the proof of the contract, proof of the payments you have made and the messages you have exchanged .

You may also consult with the following places.
Hawaii Department of Commerce and
Consumer Affairs
General Consumer Affairs （ You can file a complaint online ）

Regulated Industries Complaints Office

I am currently living in Ohio with my wife and two children and am considering relocating to Winchester, about an hour and a half from DC to VA. We are thinking of relocating with our family, and would like to know if anyone knows about the Japanese community in the Winchester area or the Leesbrug, Belmont, Ashburn area, and the living environment including public schools ？
If anyone knows anything, please provide us with information. If you know anything about it, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with some information. Thank you in advance.

I will be moving to Bangkok by myself starting this April.
I have a question for senior expatriates, how do you have lunch if you work in a factory ？
I think it depends on the company, but we can have our own cafeteria, a nearby restaurant, bring our own lunch, etc.
I would be happy if you could help me.

Thank you very much.

I see you are being posted next month, that's exciting.
I used to work at a factory too, and I used to have lunch at
① a nearby restaurant
② bread from 7-Eleven ・ lunch boxes
③ the factory canteen
I changed these depending on my mood.
Restaurants were often crowded during lunch breaks and meals were not finished within the break time
so we often ate in the factory cafeteria.
Seven's lunch boxes were boring and bad.
I recommend you bring pickled plums, friquettes, rice, instant miso soup, etc.
to change the menu of the factory cafeteria ！.
The factory cafeteria may have a variety of menu items, but
many of them are too spicy, and the menu items that Japanese can order are limited.
Good luck and enjoy your work.
HIRO

I love kumquat and want to grow it, but please tell me what to do.

My mother in law has a great kumquat tree, but the landlord says it is self-sown and he has no knowledge of it.

She wants me to come and get it, but my house is too far away and I can't get there easily.

But I like kumquat so much that I buy it at the supermarket.

I looked up the meaning of the word "kumquat", but I didn't know what it means.

I heard it takes about 5-10 years from seed, so I can't wait 🥹

I wonder if I should cut the tree down and plant it in the ground ？ The owner doesn't eat kumquat but the tree is full of fruit so the birds will probably damage it a lot. So he thinks that he should take the whole tree with him.

I think I am the only one eating them. I can't move the tree, but if I cut off a branch or something and get some part of it, can I grow it in my house?

Why not try taking up a tree with permission? Even if you are successful, it will take 3 to 5 years for the tree to bear fruit, but it will be a pleasure to watch the plant grow.

Usually with trees like that, you cut off the small branches in the off-season and
grow them in pots and fertilize them at first. When they get big enough, you move them to land. I think that's how it works.
I did it with grapes, and they were doing well, but the gardeners threw them away （ tears ）
I think it still takes a few years for them to bear fruit.

I think it would be faster to buy them from some nursery ？.

Thank you ！ It takes that long 🥲

For now, I think it would be better to buy one pot of fruit from Nursery, grow and eat it, and enjoy growing the branches I get from that house.

I wonder if I should cut the branches around there ？ Do you have any advice ？

Also, I don't think I have ever come across a Nursery that sells Kumquat in the past ？
The last time I saw a potted kumquat plant was about 10 years ago at a swap meet, sold by an Asian guy. I remember regretting it for a while because even then I was traveling far from home and didn't buy it.

Some types of citrus are banned from sale. I don't know if you can get them because they are regulated to prevent disease and I saw on the news that a vendor in San Diego sued the governor of the state by the million as he had to get rid of his seedlings.
There are plenty of YouTubers who can find you trees to take, but they are more likely to be successful than cuttings.

I planted this tree 30 years ago and at first it produced a kumquat, but since the second year it has produced a lemon that is 15 cm long. I don't want the lemons, I want them to become kumquat, but only lemons. It is a strange tree.

Question about ADU's
Has anyone used the ADU system to build an addition or separation to their back yard ？
I am planning to build an addition to my house from the ADU program and would like some advice from someone who has done it before.

Please help me ！.

Studio in 2024, 2bd in 2025, 1.5ba ADU built on home site.

Water will be shared, all other systems will be stand alone. We have also secured a parking space.
A city permit will be required at each step during construction. Real estate construction is done by a variety of contractors and the market prices vary, so we always recommend consulting with someone experienced in this field. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please contact us.

Illegal building should definitely stop. To begin with, building codes, Title 24 in CA, are written based on minimum standards for people's safety and should be followed.
Broadly speaking, safety, especially earthquake resistance and fire prevention, are the two main standards, and in CA, energy conservation is added to the list, with water saving, energy saving, and high airtightness.

ADU is a very powerful （ housing solution ） CA state law, so it can be used to override minor city ordinances, setbacks, etc.
The simple explanation is that it basically allows two houses to be built on a lot where only one could be built before.
To be more precise, you can now use SB-9 to split a lot in two and have one house
1+1(ADU) + 1 (JADU) x 2 = maximum 4 families plus ＋ 2 people can live in it.

Along the coast such as Newport Beach and other waterfronts or near them, you can easily sell it for MILLIONS or rent it for a higher room price, which is delicious.

Some American customers want to build ADUs as a stable income for their retirement.
It's one of the deepest and very good real estate investments if you dig it out.

Some Japanese people want to travel both ways between Japan and the U.S., but are worried if no one lives in the house, so they build an ADU and have people live there so it doesn't look vacant.
In Irvine, it's like $4,000 a month house rent, so building an ADU would help a lot financially.
If you already own a home, I highly recommend that you consider it as a way to supplement your stable income in retirement.


But it will take some money and time, so you should understand that as well.

21When I wrote that I could design it, someone banned me and erased it ？
I'm not looking for customers, so that's fine.

As I mentioned in 22, the housing standards specify basic safety standards.
Meki's garage is not a good idea because it doesn't meet safety standards, it should have a bathroom at the very least, and it is either ignorant or a jerk to not build it according to the code ？

To turn a blind eye to the fact that he lives in a garage is, in a sense, to turn a blind eye to the abuse. ？
If it's near your house, you should report it because it's a bad environment.

In ADU, you can legalize your garage and turn it into a JADU.

Mr. Gomapin
We are considering an ADU for guest use. 　My engineer/designer tells me that our home will likely require Soil Test due to city codes. We are considering a prefab like BOXABL to make the cost as predictable as possible, but I still think the Soil Test will be necessary ？.

Regardless of the ADU, I don't think a Soil Report is usually required for a 500 SF addition on a single story building. You should ask the engineer carefully.
Wherever the city is, or where there are a lot of ups and downs, they may be more likely to require it.Soil is 4 ～ I think it's around $5,000. Not cheap, but it is one of the necessary expenses.
