A Ghanaian man is in disbelief over the amount his landlord has quoted as money to be paid for rent should the pending tenancy agreement expire.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, the young man @kwasiyesu who lives in a rural community in Ghana said his landlord has informed him that he will increase the current rent from 15 cedis to 25 cedis a month which represents more than 60 per cent upward adjustment.

The man said what hurts him the most is that the house is a mud house which needs serious renovation.

“I was even appealing to him to take 20 cedis a month, but he has refused and insist the price is fair”

He adds that the rent situation is becoming a burden for Ghanaians in every part of the country and not just the national capital.

At the time of writing the report, the video had raked in over 19,000 likes and 900 comments.
