I. Characteristics of Hebel Maison Pet-Symbiosis Rental Housing
The goal of Hebel Maison's pet-symbiosis rental housing is to create an environment where pets and people can live together with peace of mind. It is characterized not only by hardware such as pet-friendly facilities and floor plans but also by a comprehensive design including follow-up systems before and after moving in. Unlike typical 'pet-allowed' rentals, these properties assume that all residents live with pets. Before moving in, a unique screening process is conducted by specialized staff to verify the pet's condition and the owner's manners, which helps suppress post-move-in troubles and maintain a stable living environment. After moving in, support systems such as free consultations with veterinarians and home visits by dog trainers are provided. While accommodating large dogs and multiple pets, it promotes the formation of a community where pet owners can live comfortably without hesitation. Furthermore, collaborations with external services, such as home-visit veterinary services and pet taxis for hospital visits and daily transportation, have been strengthened. These initiatives are positioned as part of lifestyle support integrated with the home, rather than mere added value. Such efforts involving both facilities and operations/services contribute not only to higher tenant satisfaction but also to reducing owner anxiety regarding neighborhood troubles and building wear, leading to stable rental management.
II. Background of Pet-Symbiosis Rental Housing
Hebel Maison began its pet-symbiosis rental housing expansion in 2006. At a time when the need for pet ownership was rising but many properties restricted pets due to concerns over 'neighborhood troubles' and 'building wear,' the company started exploring ways for pets and people to live together safely in rental housing. According to the 2025 'National Dog and Cat Ownership Survey' by the Japan Pet Food Association, there are approximately 6.82 million dogs and 8.85 million cats, exceeding the number of children. Despite this social background, pet ownership in rental housing remains highly restricted, with about 80% of rentals still prohibiting pets, limiting housing options. Hebel Maison's pet-symbiosis housing has received high praise from many tenants by emphasizing services and management systems alongside hardware. By continuously updating the concept based on knowledge accumulated over 20 years, the company has seen an increase in managed units. Moving forward, the company aims for a society where pets and people can live richly and safely together, starting from the home and evolving with changing lifestyles and diverse pet-related needs.
