Don’t Just Rent It — Research It: 5 Smart Moves Before You Sign That Lease”
Renting a new home sounds exciting — until hidden issues start showing up! From leaking pipes to sketchy landlords, renting in Ghana (especially in urban areas like Accra or Kumasi) can either be a smooth experience or a stressful one. But with a little smart planning, you can avoid the traps most renters fall into.
Here are 5 smart moves every renter should make before signing the dotted line:
Visit at Different Times – A house that looks peaceful at noon may be noisy at night. Check the neighborhood vibe both day and evening.
Ask for a Written Agreement – Verbal deals can lead to big regrets. Protect yourself with a written, signed tenancy agreement.
Inspect for Hidden Faults – Don’t just look — test taps, toilets, sockets, and doors. Don’t assume things work because they “look okay.”
Talk to Neighbors (if possible) – They’ll tell you what the landlord won’t.
Use Verified Apps like APATA – Avoid scams. APATA connects you directly to trusted agents with real listings, so you can rent with confidence.
