The Rent Control Department is taking action against student hostels that are not officially registered.
The department is asking other government bodies to help enforce existing laws. These bodies include the Ghana Tourism Authority and the Ghana Standards Authority.
The goal is to stop bad practices in the rental market, especially for student housing.
Acting Rent Commissioner Frederick Opoku said that rules are not being followed strictly enough.
This lack of strict enforcement allows some property owners to operate unregistered hostels.
These unregistered hostels may not meet safety or quality standards.
The Rent Control Department aims to ensure all student accommodations are properly regulated.
This effort seeks to protect students and improve housing conditions.
