As the number of elderly people living alone increases, the national government requested local governments nationwide four years ago to allow people without a guarantor to move into public housing. It turns out that about 85% of municipalities that manage public housing for more than one unit still require a guarantor as a condition of moving in, saying, "There is a concern that rent delinquency will increase."

We asked to share information such as efforts to prevent delinquency.
