AV Actress Gojou Rena Reveals She Can’t Rent Apartments Because of Her Job

Have you ever heard stories about how difficult it is to rent an apartment in Japan? Yes, it can be quite complicated because you can’t just show up and rent a place. The property owner usually wants to know your income, your job, and other personal details, and if they think you might be a troublesome tenant, they simply won’t rent the apartment to you.

This is exactly what is happening to AV actress Gojou Rena. She is an adult film actress who debuted in 2023 and is currently struggling to rent an apartment to live in.

As mentioned earlier, landlords often want to know details about your life because many of them don’t want to rent their apartments to people they consider problematic or who might fail to pay rent. Because of that, certain professions are often viewed negatively, such as AV actresses, VTubers, YouTubers, streamers, and other similar jobs.

“The screening process for moving is extremely strict!!!! My income isn’t a problem, but it seems like my profession might be… If that’s the case, then all AV actresses would have to live on the streets 🤣🤣 If my application gets rejected, I think my heart will break…”

“Wow!! It went viral!! Thank you everyone for taking interest! I declare my profession as ‘talent,’ but they ask me to submit my stage name and website… The problem is that if you search my real name, everything shows up anyway 🤣 And I’m not trying to rent a mansion. It’s just a normal apartment and the rent isn’t ridiculously expensive. Even if I can’t rent a place, life is still fun ❣️”

“Everyone is basically saying the same thing. I was also able to prove my income and I earn a decent amount, but when I told them my profession they asked for my stage name and said: ‘Oh, AV then.’ And the screening ended there — I was rejected.

I think they don’t want to rent to people with jobs considered unstable, or they think we’ll film there, or they have prejudice and think there will be trouble. But then… where are we supposed to live? Won’t the government help?”

As you saw in her tweets, her request to rent the apartment was rejected as soon as they discovered she works in AV. Gojou Rena also revealed that this is a problem faced by many AV actresses.

In another tweet, she said that some time ago she even had the opportunity to meet the Minister of Justice in person. During their conversation, she explained the problems AV actresses face when trying to rent apartments, and according to her, he understood their situation.

However, everything fell apart because the minister was replaced the very next day.

And if you think Gojou Rena was rejected only once, that’s not the case. She has already been rejected twice. I also remember seeing VTubers commenting on how difficult it was for them to rent apartments after revealing their professions.
