1.A Long-Term Rental Property

A long-term rental is usually anywhere from 1- 5 years . The owner of the property rents out his premises, typically receiving up-front yearly rental payments. A ‘Rental Agreement’ is signed by both the Landlord and the Tenant, accompanied by the signature of a witness (generally the property agent).

A Long-Term Rental is often the best solution for families or groups who regularly travel to Bali if:

  • You are planning an extended vacation
  • You often travel on business trips
  • You are a large family and intend to relocate to Bali
  • You have a higher budget but no plans to purchase a villa at this time

Is a Long-Term Rental the right solution for your needs?

There are many advantages to a long-term villa rental, for example:

  • No contract renewal or return required for the rental period
  • In most cases, the owner will give a discount the longer you rent
  • Many villas provide 24-Hour manager assistance
  • Personal cook, maids and butler service, nanny daycare (if under management)
  • Fully furnished, quality interiors and amenities
  • Additional free services, such as wifi internet access & satellite tv
  • Having the privacy of your own villa, without the maintenance costs
  • If permitted by the owner, the tenant can sub-let

2.A Leasehold Property

This is a long-term lease contract. Although the land title is not under the foreigner’s name and remains under the ownership of the original owner, the land can be leased for an initial period of around 25 years and can then be extended up to a period of 70 years. After the lease begins, the owner’s title of Hak Milik (Right to Own) will be legally transferred to the foreigner under the Hak Sewa title (Right to Lease).

Under the lease contract the property is able to be sub-leased (rented out to other people). This is how many foreigners turn a leasehold property into a lucrative investment and source of passive income. For most investors, the beauty of a lease is that their focus is immediate cash flow and a passive income, allowing freedom from the burden of watching market conditions as the actual value of the property is of no huge concern. In a low market there will be an increased number of long-term renters, and in a high market when everyone is purchasing, there is still the benefit of short-term holiday rentals.

If you decide to buy leasehold, the drafting of any leasehold agreement should be carried out with the assistance of a third party legal advisor, since guaranteeing renewals and limiting rent increases is the key to a cost-effective leasehold structure.

If the leasehold is not renewed once it expires, all rights go back to the original owner and it becomes a freehold Hak Milik property again.
