In Japan, with the ongoing decline in birth rates and an aging population, efforts are being made to secure high-quality housing suitable for raising children. To create a rental housing stock that accommodates diverse needs, it is crucial to understand the different selection criteria for rental properties based on various attributes. This study aims to clarify the differences in rental property selection based on gender and the presence of children, using a web survey. The analysis revealed that individuals prioritize security when children are present, regardless of gender. Additionally, factors such as being on the first floor and having a spacious living area are important in rental property selection. Improving rental property security benefits not only women but also men who may have children in the future.
