Regarding evictions in Japan, which statement is false?
A) Before the year 2000, evictions were extremely uncommon in Japan because of laws intended to protect tenants. These laws provided automatic renewals of leases for tenants.
B) In 2000, with the passing of the Law on the Promotion of Supply of Good Quality Housing, automatic renewals of lease agreements became less common.
C) Most homes are still rented using what is called futsu shakuya keiyaku, which is a type of lease that does not have a fixed termination date.
D) Because most homes are rented without a fixed termination date, it is less common for landlords in Japan to engage in eviction.
E) When there is a conflict between a landlord and tenant, the landlord is likely to sue the tenant and take the tenant to court because Japanese courts tend to find in favor of landlords rather than tenants.
