I heard that to live in an Aeon apartment, one must be single or married to another Aeon teacher. Surely there are teachers that have been there a while and got married. Are the landlords so strict? I figure it is case by case, just wondering if anyone knows any married teachers that only one spouse is an employee at Aeon.

No, it is not 'case by case'; 'tis another of those 'written in stone' rules.

I have been married to my J wife for 4 years and when I interviewed I questioned whether we could live in the same apartment. The answer was a resounding 'no'. I commented out that I wouldn't want to work for such an inflexible employer.........so I can't tell you what it is like to work for AEON!!

Ah, welcome to the land of paradox! Yes, "technically" there are certain rules, but the enforcement of them is often hit or miss. Gambling, hard-core pornography, illegal entry into Japan, overstaying visas, etc. are all illegal in Japan; and without exception all exist with the tacit approval of the police/government. Therefore, depending on your landlord (at your AEON-sponsored apt.) you may or may not have any problems with your partner living with you. Many apts. don't even have on-site management and run by rental agencies.

Bart's dad; of course you can risk bending/breaking the rules. But AEON could then have you for breaching your contract; keep charging you the rent even if you move out; sack you etc. It is up to the OP if he wants to take that chance; personally I wouldn't want to work for someone with such stringent and (IMO) unreasonable rules......

I thought the risk was implied in my answer (just as doing any of the other things I mentioned). As for AEON, it is not their rule regarding apartments. The almost always rent single-occupant apartments; the single occupancy rule being set by the building's owner, property management company, etc.
