It was quite disappointing to see some Ghanaian youth dismiss the petition submitted by the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) to the Rent Control Department, with claims that “someone cannot build his house and the government will tell the person what to do.” That is not even the essence of the petition. The petition was never about controlling private property owners or dictating to landlords and hostel operators how to run their businesses. Rather, it was a lawful and necessary call for fairness, accountability, and compliance with existing Ghanaian laws, particularly the Rent Act, 1963 (Act 220). NUGS’ petition was centred on these key concerns: 1.The immediate investigation of hostel pricing structures within and around tertiary institutions across the country. 2.The enforcement of strict compliance with the Rent Act, especially regarding excessive advance rent demands and unlawful rent increments. 3.The sanctioning of hostel operators and property owners who are found to be violating the law. 4.The establishment of clear and fair guidelines for hostel pricing and tenancy arrangements specific to student accommodation. 5.The strengthening of monitoring and enforcement mechanisms to ensure sustained compliance. 6.The creation of accessible reporting channels for students to lodge complaints and seek redress without fear of victimization. Dear students and young people, this is not a fight for NUGS and the Rent Control Department alone. This is a collective fight for fairness, dignity, and protection under the law. Rent is rent whether it is for an apartment, a hostel, or a single room and it must operate within the framework of the law. Together we stand; divided we fall.

6 years ago, a Rent Commisioner at Kumasi asked my team and I for money “bribe” before they stepped in to address an issue that is dear and disturbing to any parent and student. Hostel rents near Legon, KNUST, UCC, UG etc. have been rising faster than inflation and student incomes. It is refreshing to see the country’s Rent Commissioner doing this by himself. The problem is structural, high demand, low supply, weak enforcement of the Rent Act, and no price transparency. That's the main reason why we looked at the Rent Control. A one-off price cap won’t fix it even if this approach works. You need a system that tackles supply, data, enforcement, and tenant protection together. Here are my 5 cents on how the problem can be solved “once and for all” rather than him moving around and being disrespected. 1. Gather data on Hostel rents/Fix the transparency problem. You can’t regulate what you don’t measure. Right now landlords raise prices in the dark. Until 2017, university fees were always on the rise each year until student leaders called on the Parliament of Ghana, which got involved and decided on the fees for various institutions. Mind you, they faced hesitation from the university leadership at first but Parliament won. I. Mandate digital registration of all student hostels within 2km of public tertiary institutions via Ghana Rent Control Department’s portal. Include location, room type, capacity, facilities, price, and lease terms. ii. Launch a public “Student Hostel Price Dashboard”. Real-time, location-tagged prices so students can compare. iii. Annual price increase reporting. Hostels must submit proposed increases 90 days before the academic year. Anything above CPI + 5% triggers automatic review as done for the School Fees. This will create market pressure and evidence for enforcement. 2. Students are young, dispersed, and often uninformed. i. University Student Housing Offices: Each public university must have an office that vets and accredits hostels, handles complaints, and publishes an approved list. No accreditation, then no university recommendation. ii. Student Rent Mediation Units: Run by SRC + Rent Control. iii. Financial literacy module: Compulsory for Level 100s during orientation. Covers leases, rights, scams. “I saw one video where a lady was justifying a 20k GHS rent because of AC and some frivolous excuses”. THE WAY FORWARD 1. Increase Supply Through Targeted Incentives Prices drop when supply catches up with demand. 2. Public-Private Partnership Hostels: Government provides land on university perimeters, tax holidays, and fast-track permits. Private developers build/manage under 25-year agreements with capped rents. 3. Convert underused public buildings: Turn old staff bungalows, Govt office spaces, GNPC, SSNIT properties into affordable student hostels. 4. Implement Tax relief for accredited hostels: 15% corporate tax reduction for hostels that keep rents more than 120% of the district median and meet safety standards. This should be a PRIORITY 5. Encourage purpose-built student accommodation: Amend building codes to allow high-density, low-cost near campuses. Speak with State Housing. 6. Strengthen and Enforce the Rent Act, 1963 Act 220. The law exists but is barely enforced through your taskforce. 7. Set up Student Rent Tribunals in Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast, Tamale. Fast-track cases within 14 days. Staff with lawyers and student representatives. 8. Define “exorbitant” legally: Cap annual increases at CPI + 5% unless landlord invests ≥ 30% of annual rent in upgrades. Anything above requires Rent Control approval. 9. Sanctions with teeth. Fines of 10,000-50,000 GHS + suspension of hostel license for illegal evictions, unregistered hostels, or increases without notice. #reducehostelprices #rentcontrol

The Commissioner of the Rent Control Commission must be protected and encouraged for the work he is doing. I know it’s his job but he is fighting real, age-long principalities and he will need everyone’s support. Landlords and hostel owners may come at him but if we stand with him, Ghana will eventually win.
