7 Things to Inspect Before Signing a Rental Agreement in Accra
Before you get too excited about that ‘perfect’ apartment, take a moment to inspect these 7 crucial things — or you might regret it later:
🏡 1. Plumbing
Check all taps, sinks, showers, and toilets. Look for leaks and weak water pressure.
🏡 2. Electrical Wiring
Test every light switch and socket. Are there enough power points? Any flickering bulbs?
🏡 3. Roof & Ceiling
Look for water stains, cracks, or sagging areas that could mean future leaks.
🏡 4. Security
Check doors, window locks, burglar proofing, and the condition of perimeter walls.
🏡 5. Accessibility & Road Network
Is the road motorable during the rainy season? How close is it to major roads and public transport?
🏡 6. Neighborhood Noise Levels
Visit during the evening or weekends when neighbors are around to gauge the real noise level.
🏡 7. Verify the Landlord’s Terms
Some landlords have strict rules (no visitors, no pets, no modifications). Know them before signing.
