That will be waste of tax payer money. 95% of all landlords in Accra are in breach. Make it a policy or law, that, if there a litigation and the landlord is liable for such a breach, he or she will have to refund the entire rent to the tenant.

Unfortunately, people are mocking this man for taking such a bold step—one that will ease burdens weighing heavily on millions of Ghanaians. Ironically, these are the very people he is fighting for. In fact, Ghanaians are truly difficult to govern. 😔

Acting Rent Commissioner, Frederick Opoku, says the Rent Control Department’s inability to fully enforce rent laws is largely due to inadequate resources. He explains that the office is understaffed and overwhelmed with tens of thousands of cases annually, while also lacking vehicles, fuel, and equipment needed for field inspections and rent assessments—making effective enforcement difficult despite existing legal provisions.

When you register your hostel, you must paste it where the public can see it; it is not for your office and your consumption.” — Rent Commissioner Frederick Opoku clashes on phone with the manager of Victory Towers Hostel, which accommodates KNUST students.

Congress has more landlords than tenants. No wonder they serve the people raising our rent instead of paying it. In NY-7, 77% of us are tenants. I'll fight for universal rent control, affordable homes, and full funding for NYCHA. Housing is a human right, not a commodity.

Since 2015, rent prices have doubled for people while landlords profit. We need rent control – and we need it now. New Democrats will fight to ban fixed-term leases, renovictions, and demovictions that push people out of their homes. We'll ban rent price-fixing and collusion that puts profits before people. I'm not in it for corporate landlords. I'm in it for you and your family.

A group of Ghanaian youth has called out landlords and landladies across the country for demanding rent advance payments exceeding six months, contrary to the provisions of Ghana’s Rent Control laws. According to them, the high cost of renting in Ghana has become unbearable, as tenants are often forced to raise huge sums to cover one or two years’ advance payments, a practice they say violates the law.
