Do you mean you can't rent on VOA? Or do you mean 211 soc bud as well?
Have to say this sounds very similar to an old scam. Going back many years just about every expat living in Bali would eventually get a visit and they would always find some problem that could be fixed for a fee. It usually turned out to be some enterprising immigrassi staff trying to make some extra in their spare time
