For JAIMS Housing Providers

JAIMS Housing Database for Students (Tenants) and Host Families (Landlords)

The Japan-America Institute of Management Science (JAIMS) is a nonprofit organization existing in the State of Hawaii. JAIMS operates short-term management programs as well as a master's degree program in business administration in cooperation with the University of Hawaii. Many of the students enrolled at JAIMS are from out-of-state and a significant number of them are from foreign countries.

JAIMS does not have housing facilities. Some of the JAIMS students rent apartments or houses on their own through commercial arrangements. Other students, in addition to their studies, look forward to having a local experience in a family setting. Some families in Hawaii Kai and surrounding neighborhoods have extra rooms and also enjoy the company of a student on a short-term basis. This family-type housing arrangement is beneficial for students and families who want to have intercultural interaction.

JAIMS has compiled a database of families in Hawaii who wish to provide housing accommodations for a fee to students of JAIMS. Students are given access to this housing database. Arrangements between the student and the family are contracted directly between them as tenant and landlord.

Families who wish to be entered into the housing database must meet certain requirements before their rental is listed in our database. JAIMS does not guarantee the performance between the host family/landlord and the student/tenant and it is not a party to the housing arrangements.

JAIMS hopes that the intercultural experience will be a positive one for the host family/landlord and the student/tenant. We hope that when the JAIMS student leaves Hawaii he or she will be much enriched and will return to Hawaii many times over in the future for business and for pleasure.
