In addition to the lease terms, he said the property owner told him he would pay between $150 to $350 (GH¢2,166 to GH¢5,054) monthly as service fee charges.

In a video sighted on TikTok by YEN.com.gh, the young man said that considering the average earnings in Ghana, Ghanaians couldn't afford those houses, which cost thousands of US dollars.

"If you live in Ghana and you look at the average earning of a Ghanaian, there is no way anyone living in Ghana making money from the system genuinely should be able to afford those properties. It's not possible," he opined.
