Jesus Christ loves you and wants to save you from sin and its consequences. Vanity upon vanity—everything in this world is meaningless without Him. He died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Believe in Him, accept His gift of forgiveness, and receive eternal life! (John 3:16).tgh

So you see,as usual we are overlooking the obvious. That is why many landlords are not renting out their rooms. To think that a tenant will disrespect the landlord because of some law.

Well, landlords will begin to keep their keys to themselves. After all the house is a private property and the landlord is not obliged to rent it out. Who controls prices of other items in Ghana, if I may ask? If demand and supply forces determine prices of goods, why is that not applicable to rental of houses? Let our government build more housing units and no one will tell landlords to reduce their rents to survive the market.

Today's law makers don't have the moral rights to impose any control over landlords when they have grabbed lands all-over the country to build mansions. If they care about tenants, why don't they complete the various affordable projects every administration abandon when they assume office?

Law books in Ghana make great door stops. Especially landlord/ tenant and employer / employee laws. The law here is a matter of who can afford the biggest bribes. Greed is the rule of law.

Rent Control Officers are completely out of touch. Or better still the law operates in books but not on the ground.
