I doubt you'll get a refund
I'm sure they'll fix it.

I'm a homeowner now, but when I was a renter before, I wasn't
told about pest control, and it wasn't in my contract. I don't think it is common in Hawaii, but it depends on the contract. We did at least clean the apartment when we moved out, but that was it.

I have never heard of it.
Again, look over the contract and see if there is pest control. And again, get someone fluent in English to strongly tell you why the renter needs to do this.

Please read the contract.
When pest control is imposed, for example, if there are currently cockroaches or other pests in the apartment that were not there at the beginning of the lease, the tenant may be found to be at fault and be liable for the cost of dealing with the problem.
If it is clearly stated in the contract, you will be liable for the cost of dealing with the problem.　Even if it is not, if there is a legitimate reason to be charged, it is considered necessary as well as the cleaning at the time of leaving the room.
You may not know this, but cockroaches and ants can be eliminated by pest control, unless they are very bad.　If the whole condo is in bad shape, it may take longer to get rid of them or
they may appear here and there over time, so the frequency may be higher than others. However, it is quite effective, so sometimes it is just an excuse for both the lender and the renter because it is in Hawaii.

It is better to buy in the country where you live, mainly in your main country of residence.
The reason is warranty. If you buy something in Japan, even if it is from the same manufacturer, if something goes wrong Hawaii ・ in the US
it is not covered by the warranty. The reverse is also true.

It doesn't matter if the keyboard is in hiragana or not. If you want,
you can find hiragana keyboards here, too.

A, most things you might take on a trip, such as a PC, are now DUAL VOLTAGE. （ I think it says something like 100v-240v. ）
Electric toothbrushes such as Sonicare can be bought in either country.
So there is no problem with the voltage whether you buy it in Japan or in the US.
However, sometimes the shape of the plugs of American products are different
so you may need a conversion plug for that ？ or so.

Halo-san A

Thank you very much for your reply.

I was thinking that it would be better to buy something in Yen that can be bought in Japan because of the weak Yen and strong US dollar, but

if a PC bought in Japan is not guaranteed in the US, it is still better to buy in the US.

Very helpful.

I am of the school of thought that I buy things from Japanese manufacturers in Japan. Many major electronics stores in Japan will answer your questions in detail, so you don't have to worry when you buy, and when problems arise, you can solve them by doing a Google search in Japanese.

I understand that many countries are involved to make one product, but I still buy products from Japanese manufacturers in Japan to support Japan because it used to be the main production in Japan.

I heard it's especially bad in NY and SF.
Because of this, a friend of mine got infected and was unable to return to Japan.

Since most of the workers on site are illegal, the managers and upper management seem to be oblivious and leave them alone.

I also know Mr. S, the chief of SF's moving department. We worked together before.
He is in his late 50's, single, has no experience with women, enjoys watching porn and bullying the weak.
