Rent Assessment Advisory

Why You Need This Service

Many landlords struggle with one question: What rent can I legally charge? If you set it too low, you leave money on the table. If you set it too high, your tenant refuses to pay, and you end up in dispute with the Rent Control Department.

Under Act 220, rent must be "reasonable" and defensible against complaint. There's no fixed formula — it depends on:

• Location and neighborhood trends
• Property condition and age
• Amenities (water, electricity, security, parking)
• Tenure type (furnished, unfurnished, serviced)
• Similar properties in the area
• What the market is actually paying

This service does the research and analysis for you. We assess your property, compare it to similar rentals in your area, and give you a written, defensible rent position you can confidently use.

What You Get

• Property Assessment: Review of your property's condition, location, and market position
• Comparable Market Research: Analysis of 5–10 similar properties in your area
• Written Valuation: Recommended rent range with clear reasoning
• Act 220 Justification: Documentation showing how your recommended rent complies with law
• Defensibility: A written position you can show to Rent Control if disputed

When You Need This Service

• You're setting rent for a new tenant
• You want to increase rent and need market justification
• A tenant has challenged your rent as unreasonable
• You own multiple properties and need consistency
• You're buying an investment property and need to know its rental potential

The Real Cost of Getting It Wrong

Guessing on rent can be expensive:

• Too high: Tenant refuses to pay, you go to Rent Control, magistrate reduces the rent, you spend time and stress
• Too low: You lose hundreds of thousands in cedis over the lease term
• No documentation: If challenged, you can't explain or defend your rent figure

For GHS 200–400, you get peace of mind and a defensible position.
