Yokohama Ribin: FAQs

Like ordinary rental housing, it depends on location and size. The average rent is around 120,000 yen. Based on this rent, the rent subsidy is determined by the number of years since the start of management of the property and the income of the resident.

You can enter into a joint contract of the applicant, the employed corporation, and the business (landlord). In that case, there is no rent subsidy.
※It is necessary to obtain the consent of the business operator (landlord) in advance.

Transferees from outside the city can also apply.

You can move in with a 5-year fixed-term rental contract. After 5 years, we will recruit residents again, and if there are no applicants, we can sign a contract again.

Every year, we conduct income surveys to understand the income of the previous year. A significant increase in income will eliminate rent subsidies, but you do not need to leave.

If you apply for a fiancee, you can apply until you move in (or within 6 months after moving in) if you can submit a public certificate of marriage.

If you apply separately for a couple who has not been divorced at the time of application (spouse in family register), you must be one of the following:

(1)Those who have divorce before moving in (if divorce is not established, you will not be able to move in).
(2)Those who can confirm their separation in resident certificate for at least one year at the time of application and who can confirm their intention to divorce (Please submit documents confirming their intention to divorce at the time of qualification screening).

You can move in if you meet the eligibility requirements.

In the following cases, you may be able to move in even if you have a home.
Please contact the application window.
