Are all Aeon teachers single?
If a teacher that works for Aeon must live in a single occupancy apartment, can she or he not ever mary and live together as long as they work for the company? Question

I don't know what AEON's policy on marriage is...

However, the main reason they rent single occupancy apartments (1K) is simply because they are cheap. Most leases for small apartments will conatin a clause stating that only ONE PERSON may occupy that apartment. Obviously AEON aren't interested in having problems with landlords.

I haven't worked for AEON so I'm not sure if (as a foreigner) you have to live in their apartments if you work for them. I have met Japanese people who work for AEON, and don't live in their apartments.

Thanks. I see- it is the clause that one signs with the landlord. I have lived in other apartments before, but they were two bedroom.

I wonder where the line is between living together and having your girlfriend "stay the night" throughout many BUT not all days of the week?!

When I worked for AEON my girlfriend spent a lot of time at my apartment. The landlord accused her of living there. We denied it and never had anymore problems. AEON doesn't get involved unless they are forced to.

Couples can work for Aeon. Each gets their own apartment. You can sleep where you like.
