Choei’s “No Refusal of Tenants” Initiative Supporting Those Who Find It Difficult to Rent in Kyoto City
2025/07/26 21:18
In Kyoto City, high housing prices and rents make it particularly challenging for elderly individuals, foreigners, and families with children to secure affordable housing. Elderly people are often refused tenancy by landlords due to concerns like the risk of “lonely death” (dying alone without notice). Foreigners and international students also face refusals because they may lack guarantors or knowledge of Japanese customs.
To address this issue, the real estate company Choei has adopted a policy of “not refusing tenants” and implements unique measures. They do not refuse applicants based on age or nationality. Instead, they manage risks through rent guarantee companies, individual interviews, and special contracts, ensuring everyone can rent with peace of mind.
For elderly tenants, Choei collaborates with security companies to provide monitoring services called “Bellevie Silver Peace of Mind Support.” For foreign tenants, they offer the 『Global Desk』[*1] , multilingual staff support, explanation sessions on Japanese rules, and assistance with trouble resolution in the tenants’ native languages.
Furthermore, Kyoto City supports elderly and disabled tenants through systems like the “Sukoyaka Housing Network” and cooperates with real estate companies to improve the living environment. Thanks to these efforts, Choei maintains high occupancy rates and aims to create a society where tenants can live long-term.
In short, Choei’s distinguishing feature is its “TENANTS FIRST” approach, balancing the creation of a livable city for all with stable profits.
