🇮🇩 Indonesia · Housing
Renting and buying property in Indonesia — typical rents, deposits, contracts, and official tenancy rules.
Indonesia housing for foreigners depends on lease practice, local address requirements and land-title limits. Foreigners generally cannot own Hak Milik freehold land and should verify Hak Pakai, leasehold or apartment strata arrangements with a notary and land office.
- Government guidance frames foreign housing around right-to-use (Hak Pakai), leasehold and eligible apartment units, not freehold land ownership.
- Address documents may be needed for banking, tax, immigration and BPJS processes; confirm what evidence each institution accepts.
- Lease terms, building management rules and local registration expectations vary by city and property type.
