Company profile
researched Aug 2026Rukita operates a rental housing platform in Indonesia through which users search and book monthly-rent accommodation, including exclusive kost (rooming house) units, coliving properties and apartments. Listings are organised by property brand, location, price band and proximity to transit and campuses, and the site markets housing for different life stages.
Properties are presented under at least two brands: Rukita-branded residences, positioned around a standardised, furnished housing specification with full property management and services such as laundry and cleaning included, and Uma Kost, which includes lower-priced and women-only (putri) properties. Individual listings display monthly rates, discount promotions (flash sales, first-payment discounts and discounts for minimum 12-month tenancies), and media such as video and 360-degree tours.
