10 Things to Know Before Renting a Home in Jakarta

Moving to a new city is exciting, but finding the right home in a bustling metropolis like Jakarta can be overwhelming. For expats, navigating the rental market comes with unique challenges—from understanding local customs to ensuring your new home meets international standards. That’s where Noble Asia steps in!

Here are the top 10 things to know before you rent a home in Jakarta, along with how Noble Asia makes the process stress-free and seamless:


1. Know the Best Neighborhoods for Expats

Popular areas like Kemang, Menteng, and SCBD offer vibrant expat communities, international schools, and amenities tailored to your lifestyle.

👉 With Noble Asia, you’ll receive tailored recommendations based on your preferences, whether you’re looking for family-friendly areas or modern high-rise apartments.


2. Understand Rental Agreements

Rental agreements in Indonesia often include terms that might differ from what you’re used to, such as upfront payments for a year or two.

👉 Our team at Noble Asia helps you negotiate contracts, ensuring transparency and protecting your interests.


3. Be Aware of Hidden Costs

From service charges to maintenance fees, it’s important to clarify what’s included in your rent.

👉 Noble Asia reviews every detail, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for—no surprises later!

Security is a priority. Look for properties with gated access, 24/7 security, and reliable systems in place.
