Although I haven't secured a position with a conversation company or school yet, many offer to place/recommend housing for the worker. I'm wondering what kinds of stipulations are on the "leases" on such places, from your experience (if indeed one were to sign a document that's like a lease)?

I want to make the most economical decision with housing- is it better to accept housing from a company, or split the rent of an apartment with a native Japanese friend that I have. Likewise, were I to accept the company's housing, could I invite someone who is not working in the company to live with me and share the rent, assuming I did not have an assigned roommate?

Another issue- I want to bring my cat (most of her shots for traveling overseas is complete). How likely is it for a company to provide housing that caters to pets?
