Support for single-parent households looking for housing, with part of the contract money covered

Members of real estate associations that have an agreement with Koto City provide information on vacant rental properties at the city office counter and at cooperating real estate agencies. It is a shared program that covers not only single-parent households but also elderly households and households of people with disabilities. If your previous year's income is ¥2,568,000 or less, part of the contract money (equivalent to 1 month's rent, up to ¥80,000) is covered when a contract is concluded. If you sign a guarantee contract with a private guarantee company, half of the guarantee fee (up to ¥20,000) is also covered. Households receiving public assistance are not eligible. Only properties are introduced; the contract is a regular lease. You can get consultation at the city office counter (Tuesday afternoons, by appointment) or, after applying to the city, at a cooperating real estate agency.
