The Public Relations Officer for Rent Control Ghana, Emmanuel Kporsu, has given tenants advice on how to deal with landlords or landladies who won’t pay their rent or utilities.
Because they own the property and impose their expenses on the tenants, some home owners in Ghana have traditionally refused to pay their share of the light, water, and other bills.
The prevalence of this issue in the nation is on the rise, and Emmanuel Kporsu has advised tenants who are experiencing it to report it to the Rent Control Department.
“If you’re in this situation and you haven’t been able to resolve it with your landlord, you need to file a report with Rent Control. We will then invite the landlord to come and explain their actions. ”
Every person who uses water and electricity in their home needs to pay for it. The owner of the house cannot pay these bills because the house does not create water or electricity, but uses them instead.
Once you own a house, you are not allowed by law to make the tenants pay your bills. The law says that tenants should be shown the bill so they can see how much they need to pay.
