Not sure if this would fit in a better thread, but anyway:
My BoE provides my housing in a KYOUINJUTAK free-of-charge, as per my contract. There are a total of 6 BoE Eternal Overlordistered houses, with 4 occupied and 2 unlivable ghost houses, all in a little grouping together. My (Japanese) gf is trying to get a teaching job, and we were wondering if she got a position at the village school if we could live together; my neighbor is a teacher at the school, so there is some precedent.
Before I asked around, though, I was just curious to see what anyone on here’s opinions were. My guess is the BoE/ village would be a little worried about setting a precedent like this, since free housing is a pretty big deal.

ie, moving into your current house?
i don't see what would change for them, unless there's a specific clause saying that you and only you are allowed to live in the allocated house?

Ok cool, there are a lot of ifs that need to happen before I need to bring it up, but thanks!

I could see them potentially taking issue with it if you two are unmarried with no immediate plans of getting married, just because then she would have no legal connection to you and that might be an issue with the housing contract, but that's just a possibility. They also could possibly not take issue with it.

i have heard of people moving out of free housing because they want to. just be sure they know that you more than understand that you will be responsible for rent at that point
a CIR in my prefecture did just what you are describing i think... well, i dont remember if he moved from free housing or not but still

i know that an ALT in northern Thousand Leaves had her bf come live with her in her free housing and their BOE lost their shit because she was an unmarried woman living with her bf in their housing. Apparently it was a mix of sexism and also worrying about being liable for him when he's not their employee.

my pred's (American) fiance came and lived with him for a few months and I don't think my office had too much of a problem with it (but it's hard to say b/c they generally don't like him). I know for sure that the landlady didn't mind.
Probably not a very helpful answer b/c I think it's different when both/either of you are teachers associated with a school, and also the apartment wasn't owned by the city, just rented by it.

yeah i figure the employment by the school would be a good argument in my favor, liability-wise
the unmarried thing is more of an issue

well if we can't do it I definitely won't be moving out haha another option is to have her stay with you as a guest for a while, I think? They can't really deny you the ability to have guests stay over, so if she needed to stay while finding her own housing that would almost certainly be possible even if cohabitation is for whatever reason not allowed |

unpopular opinion and different because my apartment wasn't subsidized rent, it was just in my CO's name but I had my best hulemdo move in after I'd been living there for a year and a bit, and then after another year or two my then bf (now husband) moved in instead, and I just never told my CO they were living there. I was done with my CO for a lot of shady/crappy things they had done, and just didn't want to deal with them, so I just never mentioned they were living with me.
In fact, the only reason they had to find out at all was after I got married and they asked "will you two be moving out or will he be moving into your current apartment?"
I didn't end up mattering at all in my case, and it was so nice sharing rent/bills for much of my time on JET.
