Ghana-Based Nigerian Explains Why Ghanaian Landlords Don't Like To Rent Their Houses To Nigerians

• Most Ghanaian landlords would not readily give out their properties for rent to potential Nigerian tenants
• A Nigerian living in Ghana has been speaking to some Ghanaian landlords to find out the reason
• Some of the landlords told him the Nigerians house too many people in the rented property, putting pressure on amenities

A Nigerian man living in Ghana has revealed some of the reasons why most Ghanaian landlords refuse to rent their properties to Nigerians.

In a TikTok video, the man said he gathered the information from some Ghanaian landlords he spoke to.

The man, with the TikTok handle @actor_ud_official, said it is no longer a secret that landlords in Ghana do not like to rent their houses to Nigerians, and they have reasons for that.

He said the Ghanaian landlords he spoke to answered that when they rent their property to one Nigerian before they realise, in a few days, there are several people occupying the place, putting pressure on all the amenities in the house.

They added that when female Nigerians rent their properties, they turn it into a brothel. Meanwhile, the house was not meant for that. Some Nigerian men also start engaging in cyber crimes and constantly make noise, which their Ghanaian landlords and neighbours do not welcome.

There are good Nigerians

@actor_ud_official was quick to add that even though some Nigerians tarnish the country's image, there are also good people.

He pleaded with Ghanaian landlords to rent their properties to good Nigerians instead of bundling all of them as bad humans.

"If they come, ask them questions to know what they do for a living. To know their ins and outs before renting your house to them. If they do not have any proper job, don't rent your house to them."

Ghanaian landlords charge Nigerians twice the rent

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a man on social media ranted about why Ghanaian landlords request double-priced rent from Nigerians.

In a TikTok video, @kofi_khaveli asked if it was because Nigerians often did not take good care of apartments or because they were thought to be wealthier than Ghanaians and could thus afford the high rent price.
