Low-cost apartments

JAKARTA (JP): Thamrin Djamain, president of the city-owned
housing company PD Sarana Jaya, is reminding residents of low-
cost apartments that they are not allowed to rent or sublet their
units to other people without consent of the management.

Djamain said that the reminder was intended mainly to help
improve discipline and was part of the city administration's
drive to encourage people to stay at the buildings.

He said that his company currently leases 4,394 units in
nine low-cost buildings throughout the city at between Rp 950
(US$0,43) and Rp 1,100 each unit per day.

Brandjangan, the spokesman for the company, said that the
company will require all residents of low-cost apartments to hold
local identity cards as of May 1. (yns)
