Document background
A Lodger Tenancy Agreement is essential when a property owner in Indonesia wishes to rent out a room or rooms in their primary residence while continuing to live in the property. This arrangement differs from a standard residential lease as it creates a more flexible living arrangement where facilities are often shared between the landlord and lodger. The document must comply with Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) and local housing regulations, including mandatory resident registration requirements. The agreement typically covers room specifications, shared facilities access, house rules, payment terms, and notice periods. It's particularly useful in urban areas, university districts, and areas with high housing demand. The document should be drafted to protect both parties' interests while maintaining the informal nature of a lodging arrangement, distinguishing it from a full tenancy agreement.
