Head of Jakarta Housing and Government Building Dept, Arifin revealed, until now, the flat occupant arrears has reached Rp 2 billion. The nominal is recorded from people who have been relocated to 23 flats in the capital.

"Since there is relocation program, many are delinquent rents. If it's calculated, it can reach Rp 2 billion," he stated, Thursday (10/20).

Unfortunately, he does not tell how many people who are in arrears of rent.

According to him, they must pay off the rent every month. Because the money will be used for flat operational such as maintenance for building and lift, cleanliness, security and so on. Even, the rent arrears will be the concern of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). Because it is part of the revenue.

For the needy, his side will find the solution. One of them is by encouraging people to make a relief letter (SKTM). Then he will coordinate with Jakarta Bazis for the help.

Furthermore, for privileged people but have trouble paying monthly fees, it can be done in installments. Residents could also save Rp 5,000 to pay a monthly fee.
