Child-rearing households and young couple households that moved into private rental housing in the city receive 100,000 Setagaya Pay points. Like the Settlement Support Program, it started in FY2026 (April 2026–March 2027), and it is for households that keep living in the city by renting rather than buying a home. The definition of eligible households is the same as the Settlement Support Program: households raising a child under 6 on the day they moved, or households of only a young couple in which one of the couple is 39 or younger. However, the residency requirement is looser: you can apply if one of the couple has lived in the city continuously for 1 year or more. The housing requirements are private rental housing in the city with a lease signed on or after April 1, 2026, that meets the new earthquake-resistance standards and the minimum residential floor area standard for the number of household members. Public corporation housing and UR rental housing are covered, but public housing such as Tokyo metropolitan or city-run housing, company housing and dormitories, short-stay housing with contracts of less than 1 year, and contracts in a corporation's name are not. Apply within 90 days of the day you moved. If you also meet the requirements of the Multi-Generation Living Nearby and Together Support Program, you can use both, for up to the equivalent of ¥400,000 in total. Applications close when the budget limit is reached.
