About rent reduction assistance

Because it is a system that provides assistance to lessor, it is necessary for the lessor to carry out the procedure.
In addition, subsidies are basically paid together quarterly later.
In addition, "in principle, recruit tenants" is a requirement, but if certain requirements are met, it is now possible to receive assistance while the current resident continues to live.
