About rent reduction assistance
Since it is a system to provide assistance to the lessor, the lessor must perform the procedure.
In addition, subsidies are basically paid separately every quarter.
In addition, "in principle, open recruitment of residents" is a requirement, but if certain requirements are met, it is also possible to receive assistance while the current resident continues to live.
