title = "The relationship between the sequential sharing of rental homes and the unpredictable housing pathways of kampung residents in Jakarta",
abstract = "Buying a home is becoming more difficult in urban areas across the globe, including in Indonesian cities. However, some rental housing remains relatively affordable. Although affordable rental apartments for low-income individuals are being built on many parts of the Indonesian archipelago, the housing supply cannot satisfy escalating demand. Many municipal governments limit tenancy duration to enable more low-income individuals to find housing. However, this policy encourages renters to share rooms. Qualitative content analysis shows that the tenancy durations of low-income renters are longer than the limit established by municipal governments, which indicates that volatile life-course events do not necessarily drive housing pathways. The heads of households conduct a Community Economy Collective in the form of rental home sharing with relatives in a series of rental tenancies in high-density kampung settlements. These findings help identify additional determinants of low-income residents{\textquoteright} unpredictable housing pathways, which implicate the duration of tenancy for their sequential home sharing in the city.",

note = "Funding Information: However, social bonds with kin or relatives did not necessarily prevent all respondents from moving to another rental. This finding is supported by previous research (Coulter & van Ham, ; Hedman, ; Lundholm, ; Mulder & Malmberg, ; Mulder & Smits, ). Changes in the socioeconomic conditions of households prompted respondents to seek out larger houses, better quality neighbourhoods and rentals in proximity to kin or relatives to support their life activities, which were poorly accommodated by conditions of their previous rental. Becoming renters allowed respondents to cope with volatile socioeconomic conditions. This flexibility discouraged respondents from pursuing homeownership, even when they had experienced improvements in income. This finding contradicts the concept of the {\textquoteleft}housing career{\textquoteright} as put forward by Kendig (). Nonetheless neighbourhood attachment, which results from a spirit of collectivity from the CEC, impacted the housing pathways of renters in this study. This phenomenon has never been explored in the theoretical discussions on housing pathways. Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.",
