For moves within the city during FY2025; rent difference covered up to ¥30,000/month

For households raising children that moved into private rental housing in the city, this program covers part of the difference between the rent after the move and the standard rent.

The subsidy is up to ¥30,000 per month. If the difference is less than ¥30,000, that amount is paid, with amounts under ¥1,000 rounded down. The subsidy period is 5 years, or until the end of the fiscal year in which the child at the time of application turns 15, whichever is earlier. It is limited to once per household, including the former program, and households that received the subsidy in the past as the applicant or spouse cannot apply. It also does not apply if you became a household raising children by giving birth after the move.

Eligible households support and live with at least 1 child aged 15 or younger, were registered as residents of the city for at least 1 year before the move, and moved within the city between April 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026. There are also conditions that the household's monthly income is ¥338,000 or less and the rent after the move is ¥170,000 or less per month.

If you moved within the city on or after April 1, 2026, or moved in from outside the city, you are in principle not eligible, except for users of the Multi-generation Living Nearby or Together Subsidy. If you are thinking of moving, check with the city before applying. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis and end when the budget is reached.
