📖 Easy Explanation
Akiya Bank System
Ota City operates an "Akiya (Vacant House) Bank" to connect owners who want to "sell or rent" their vacant houses with those who want to "buy or rent" them.
Management of Vacant Houses
Vacant houses require proper management. If left unmanaged and they become dangerous, forced measures may be taken by law. The city also holds free consultation sessions regularly regarding the disposal and utilization of vacant houses.
Subsidies
There is also a subsidy system to cover part of the cost of renovating properties registered in the Akiya Bank or disposing of unnecessary household goods.
