Challenging the Social Issue of "Refusal of Elderly Tenants": A Real Estate Notary and Nurse Couple Launch the "Mahoroba I" Rental Housing Project with Support Services

Flexible Inc. (Headquarters: Ageo City, Saitama Prefecture, Representative Director: Kazuya Inomata), which develops real estate sales and elderly support businesses, held a groundbreaking ceremony on March 31, 2026, for the planned elderly rental housing "Mahoroba I" in Fukuroyama, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture, marking the full-scale launch of the project.

The project is spearheaded by the representative, a licensed real estate transaction agent with 10 years of experience in the real estate industry, and his wife, who is a qualified nurse. They aim to solve the social issue of rental rejections due to age by addressing both housing and life support aspects.

With the goal of completion in the fall of 2026, they are working to create an environment where local elderly residents can continue to live life on their own terms.

**Facing the Housing Issues of Active Elderly Individuals in the Real Estate Brokerage Field**

In his work as a real estate broker, Representative Inomata encountered numerous cases where elderly individuals, who were mentally and physically healthy and capable of independent living, were forced to move into elderly care facilities simply because of their age or living alone, after being denied rental housing.

Facilities often impose certain restrictions on daily life, such as meals, bathing, and outings, which can limit the freedom of individuals who have lived independently. Faced with this reality, the need for "housing that balances freedom and security" became the starting point for this project.

**Three Features Balancing Privacy and Security**

* **Hardware: Mimamori AI:** Wi-Fi sensing is introduced in the rooms. This system monitors the well-being of residents 24 hours a day without using cameras, thus protecting privacy. * **Software: Mimamori Support:** Regular monthly visits, approximately one hour each, are conducted to check for changes in daily life while performing tasks such as cleaning water fixtures and assisting with shopping. * **Network: Community Collaboration:** Efforts are underway to build a support system in collaboration with community comprehensive support centers and welfare professionals.

**"Mahoroba I" Facility Overview**

* **Location:** 200-3 Fukuroyama, Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture (12-minute walk from Oobukuro Station on the Tobu Isesaki Line) * **Structure/Scale:** Wooden, 2-story building / Total of 6 units + office and recreation room * **Site Area:** 239.04 ㎡ * **Building Area:** 107.37 ㎡ * **Total Floor Area:** 169.02 ㎡ * **Room Design:** 20.58 ㎡ studio apartments, spacious bathrooms, washing machine space by the window * **Construction Period:** Construction to begin April 2026, completion scheduled for Fall 2026

Following its completion in the fall of 2026, after an introductory period, move-ins are scheduled to begin on December 1st. Tenant recruitment is expected to start around June, with interviews to be conducted from September onwards.

Moving forward, they plan to refine this project as a model case, continuing to create environments where local elderly residents can live independently, with the future prospect of developing multiple facilities.

**Comment from Kazuya Inomata, Representative Director of Flexible Inc.**

"For about 10 years in the real estate industry, I have been confronting the housing challenges faced by the elderly. While my wife, a nurse, and I are busy raising our first child, I truly feel the strength that comes from being able to rely on others.

We will create a place where the elderly can live true to themselves, valuing both specialized knowledge and the warm interactions that arise from activities with our daughter.

From our respective positions in real estate and healthcare, we will faithfully fulfill our roles as regional infrastructure."
