What is a Rusunawa?
A rusunawa is a type of tall housing built by the local government for low-income residents. Unlike landed houses that require large plots of land, builders construct a rusunawa vertically. This makes it a good solution for the land shortage in Jakarta.
Vertical housing like rusunawa also helps to create a more organized environment and supports efficient urban management. It not only offers a place to live, but it also has public facilities. These include playgrounds, multipurpose halls, and areas for micro, small, and medium enterprises (UMKM).
This makes rusunawa a smart choice. It helps with housing availability and improves urban planning.

Remember that the registration is free of charge. After you pass the selection process, you must pay a security fee. This fee is three times the monthly rental amount. You will need to deposit it into a Bank DKI account in your name.
The provisions are based on Peraturan Gubernur DKI Jakarta No. 111 Tahun 2014, Pasal 8 Ayat (1) (Jakarta governor regulation no. 111 of 2014, article 8, paragraph 1). You can find all registration steps in the official guidebook. For clarity, let’s go through the process together:

Rusunawa as a Reflection of Smart Living in Jakarta
Living in a rusunawa, a type of vertical housing, provides realbenefits for today’s urban communities. Besides being significantly more affordable compared to landed housing, rusunawa locations are generally strategic: close to public transportation, activity centers, and public facilities. This helps save both time and money on daily mobility.
Residents do not have to worry about maintenance. The management takes care of the building and facility upkeep. In addition, communal spaces such as parks, sports areas, and multipurpose halls foster healthy social interaction among residents.
From a security standpoint, these apartments offer enhanced safety with 24-hour surveillance and active CCTV systems. By choosing to live in a rusunawa, residents get good housing and a supportive environment. This helps them have a comfortable and efficient daily life.
With all these advantages, rusunawa also plays a significant role in supporting the implementation of Smart Living in Jakarta. This aligns with the city’s vision to improve its residents’ quality of life through innovation and technology. The Smart Living initiative aims to improve city life. It uses technology to create comfortable, safe, and efficient living spaces.
