JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Housing Agency is monitoring the alleged rental of a DP0 rupiah house at the Samawa Tower, Jalan H Naman No. 54 RT 1/RW 15 Pondok Kelapa, Duren Sawit Village, Duren Sawit District, East Jakarta.

The management staff of the Samawa Flats, Musri, said that two DKI Jakarta Housing officers had visited the Menara Samawa Flats on Wednesday (21/6) to gather accurate information regarding the alleged rental of the Rusun unit.

"We have conveyed it to the housing office as the authority in monitoring the Samawa Tower unit. It is currently being followed up by the housing office," said Musri as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, June 22.

The Housing Service, he said, had also asked for proof of payment for suspected residents who rented out their homes, namely Environmental Maintenance Contributions (IPL), PAM, Electricity Use, and Water to the management.

He admitted that he received initial information from one of the residents of the flat about the rental of the DP0 rupiah residential area.

"Yes, we got the initial information from one of the residents, but we from the manager do not yet know who is going viral with the video for sure," he said.

His party also fully handed over the continuation of the case to the Housing Office.

Acting Governor of DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono will control the rental of a DP0 rupiah house in Pondok Kelapa, East Jakarta, which should not be for rent.

"Yes, according to the rules. Ordered," said Heru, Wednesday, June 21.

In addition, Heru said, the DKI Housing Agency will follow up on the rental of the DP0 rupiah house which was made especially for millennials.

"That (must be dealt with) at the Housing Service, right DP0 so that residents can get affordable houses, millennials who have not yet received a house can get a house," said Heru.

According to Heru, the DP0 rupiah house can be rented not because of weak supervision from the DKI Provincial Government (Pemprov). The owner of the DP0 rupiah must also have his own awareness.

"Not only that (weak supervision), but those who own a house must also be aware. That's for him to have a house," said Heru.
