Types of Rental Property
http://indonesia.angloinfo.com/housing/renting-accommodation/types-of-property
Find out about the different types of property available to rent in Indonesia...
Renting a room
It is possible to rent a bedroom in an Indonesian family's home. Meals and laundry prices can be negotiated with the family. This type of rental is usually informal, and is made by meeting and becoming friends with an Indonesian family.
Hotel rooms and penginapan
Renting a room in a hotel or a penginapan (simple lodging) is a long-term option, which can be negotiated. Meals and laundry are sometimes available for an extra fee.
Kos or Kost - places to rent
Typical western-style flats are not found outside Bali, Jakarta and other developed areas. Most rental units, or kos, are rooms similar to those in a boarding house or residential hotel. They are typically small and may be either furnished or unfurnished. Private bathrooms are sometimes provided, or they may be shared. Contracts are monthly, six monthly or a year. Payment is usually made in advance.
Houses
There are plenty of houses to rent in Jakarta and Bali because most foreign residents are transient. In other parts of Indonesia, houses are available, but not as readily, because generally families who own these houses have lived there for generations. Rental contracts for these houses are usually between one to three years.
Furnished houses
Furnished houses are often rented for twice the price of unfurnished properties.
Many homes have air conditioning, but only new houses in upscale, gated communities in Jakarta or Bali have hot water geysers.
