The Rent Control Department in Ghana's Ahafo Region has expressed alarm over widespread non-compliance by landlords with rent control regulations. Ishmael Essien, the Principal Manager of the department in the region, revealed to Adom News that the lack of accurate records is making it difficult to monitor and enforce these laws.
Essien attributed the issue primarily to landlords' failure to register with the department over the years. He stated that without comprehensive records, it is challenging for the department to effectively oversee landlords and ensure they adhere to the relevant regulations. Essien assured that the department is taking steps to improve enforcement and compliance.
He urged landlords who have not registered yet to visit the nearest Rent Control office to obtain the necessary documentation and regularize their operations. Essien emphasized that proper registration would benefit both landlords and tenants by facilitating the department's mandate and providing greater protection for all parties involved.
