Pest Control at the Time of Eviction

When I move out of my house, my realtor has asked me to do pest control in addition to cleaning my room.

I have never been asked to do pest control when renting a house before, is this a common practice in Hawaii when moving out ?

I contacted a pest control company and was told it is usually done by the owner, They could not give me an estimate.

I would like to know if anyone has ever done pest control when moving out and can recommend a company.

I would also like to know the approximate price.

Thanks in advance.

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.

There is also a place on the 4th floor of Macy's in Ala Moana that fixes jewelry and watches. There is quite a line on weekends, but it is surprisingly empty on weekdays. They can fix even high-end items.

Delta Honolulu - Haneda flight start appears to be delayed.

I was checking my reservations for Delta's Honolulu
Haneda - flight starting in December for my return home for the New Year's holiday.
However, about a week ago, this flight stopped showing up in my search.

I called Delta and was told that due to the weak yen,
Honolulu - Haneda flights are not expected to start until March.

This has not been announced yet, so there may be some changes in the future, but we hope this will be helpful.

I have been saving my Delta miles to take advantage of the Honolulu - Nagoya flights, but
even Haneda flights are in this situation, so it may take some time before Nagoya flights resume.
I am also disappointed that the 2-year discount I got by using my credit card will expire in January next year.

This time, I booked JAL's Honolulu - direct flight to Nagoya, hoping to buy a ticket before the fuel surcharge goes up.
The flight is only once a week, but it was in line with my winter vacation schedule, so I chose this one.
Now I just hope that the direct flight will be cancelled and I will not have to change flights.

About 10 years ago, when I had an emergency return trip to Japan, Delta was very good to me and I have been using Delta Nagoya flights ever since.
I had assumed that I could use this flight, but it has completely changed with Corona.
As you said, Delta does not have domestic flights within Japan, so if you fly to Tokyo and then to Nagoya, you will have to pay extra for the Shinkansen and other expenses. JAL's Nagoya-Tokyo-Honolulu route has many earlier flights departing from Nagoya, so I really hope they will fly as scheduled.

> Mr. KUMIHASHI
I am sorry to hear that your booked flight has been cancelled.
I see that you did not receive any notice of cancellation by e-mail or otherwise.
Since the flight itself is cancelled, I hope it is a full refund.
You can call Delta's Japan office at +81-50-3850-8388 ) at 14:00 or earlier in Hawaii and you will be connected immediately.

From a quick look, Honolulu-Haneda flights are currently around $ 1200 for each company.
All companies seem to be charging a fuel surcharge for flights to/from Japan, so the price will go up from October.
I read somewhere that the fuel surcharge for December-January tickets is about the same as for August-September tickets,
I guess it is better to buy now than later & I guess I am safe.

In my case, I was planning to fly to Haneda using e-credit $ 200, but
it was cancelled and I had to give up.

Earlier this year, Delta Air Lines had made the Honolulu - Haneda route available for booking, but
yesterday, when I checked the June flights, only flights via were available.
I called Delta to see if this was the case, and was told that they are currently reconsidering the start date of this route, and
no information has come down to the inquiry desk as to when exactly it will start.

If you have already made a reservation and have not received a flight cancellation notice, please check with us.
The number you can call from the U.S. in Japanese is 800-327-2850.

Honolulu - With this situation at Haneda, it seems unlikely that the Honolulu - Nagoya route will be restored in the near future.
I think we need to consider including credit cards.

By the way, when I checked a few weeks ago,
the second piece of baggage on the Pacific route is now free, the same as before Corona.

Koji,
I am one of those who used to fly Delta because my parents live in Nagoya.
About 2 weeks ago, I was searching for tickets
Honolulu → Haneda → Nagoya for $ 1300.
Haneda to Nagoya was by ANA, so I thought it would be possible if I didn't have to get a separate domestic ticket.

Honolulu → Haneda is the only place to fly with miles, but
I thought it would be a good way to use up the miles I had accumulated.

but I also checked yesterday and it only comes up via Korea.

And while I was in Japan in late January, I saw on the Japanese news that Delta Honolulu ↔ Nagoya is pulling out.

I can't find anything by looking it up, so I'll paste avi-times's.

https://avi-times.com/archives/2505

I have quite a few miles I have saved, but I am thinking of selling them on Mercari in Japan ?.

nuiloamanma,

thanks for the link.
I had seen the news about Delta stopping Nagoya - Detroit flights and withdrawing from Centrair, but I didn't understand until
the link that they were completely withdrawing and would not be coming back in the future.
I know a friend of mine who is a flight attendant for Delta, so I will ask him if I can get the inside scoop.

Honolulu like nuiloamanma found → Haneda → I think it is possible if Delta arranges the flight to Nagoya, but
if not, it is quite hard because the cost of bullet train or domestic flight is added.
The situation may change again when the corona and the weak yen/strong dollar ends and more people travel to Hawaii, but I don't know when that will be ~.

The Amex Delta Gold card seems to be downgradeable to the Blue with no annual fee, so
we don't have to worry about the impact on our credit score.
The recent award for Gold seems to be a 15% reduction in miles required, so it might be a good idea to use that before downgrading. But even with the award, you still need 85,000 miles, which is much higher than in the past. I wonder if the required miles will drop when the fuel surcharge settles down.

I am planning to buy a ticket from Hawaii to/from overseas on a Japanese discount airline site using a Japanese debit card, but I am a bit nervous because I have never bought a discount airline ticket online before.
If you have purchased tickets on Japanese sites (or US sites), please let me know your experience or any advice.

First of all, you should avoid making purchases with a debit card.
Because the money will be deducted immediately from your bank account, if you are hacked or involved in a crime, you may find that you have no balance before you know it.
It is convenient, but it is dangerous for shopping !
We recommend using a credit card.

And the main issue is that it depends on how trustworthy the cheap airfare website is.
I buy directly from the airlines online.
Especially after Corona, flights are often delayed or cancelled, and the handling of such cases and fees are different. ( Travel agents and others are more expensive )

For reference.

I went yesterday.
You are given a timed ticket to buy the day of the show, but you have to be
there to get it.
If you are coming with your family, you will be told at the gate to drive in together, and the number of people will be checked when the tickets
are handed out.
After the gates open, you park and then get in line.
We took an Uber, got dropped off at the gate, and got out
just as the gates opened. It was the fastest way.
