Which official sources should I check for landlord, tenant & rental in Indonesia?
Start with the current official material from Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK), Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning / National Land Agency and any court, tribunal, regulator or government authority directly connected to the facts and location.
