  The acting rent control commissioner is simply being populist without studying the rental sector and understanding input cost,cost of capital and rental level determination. Ultimately, the market forces of demand and supply will decide the equilibrium.
  The payback and RoI on rental investment is not attracting due tp high cost to build in Ghana. Govt must subsidize if they want to call the shots.

  7k and 8k plus per student for a single room per year with 4 people. Interesting.
  Truth be told this hostels are milking students. It's too bad.

  So, premium has aircon plus queen size. Does this means non premium rooms have no aircon? 4 people in a room without aircon in this heat for Ghc800 monthly?

  I don't think the rent commissioner was wrong.

  I don't think the rent commissioner was wrong.
  
  If you're charging students GH¢7,392 and GH¢8,876 each, per academic year, for four occupants in a room with 1 shared bathroom, that still amounts to 29,568 and 35,504 per academic year which is approximately 9 months only- not 12 months??
  
  The room is not single occupancy, so saying its Ghc 823 is irrelevant because the monthly rent is shared between the four occupants; Ghc 823 x 4 or 986 x 4 is the actual monthly rent for the single room.
  
  That's about Ghc 3.3-4k a month for a single room without air-condition and/or a fridge ????? Just a ceiling fan, single mattress, water, and electricity?? Well?
