Landlords have refused to accept monthly payments even when the law states that rent advance should be 6 months at the most. They typically take either 1 or 2 years' rent advance. Some companies in Ghana have heard the cries of citizens in demanding the ability to pay rent on a monthly basis as is done in most parts of the world. Below is a list of such companies compiled by Yen.com.gh.
Renmo: Rent & Pay Monthly
Renmo is a platform that allows tenants to make monthly payments on their apartments. They allow you to either find your own house or look for houses on their website. Either way, they will cover your rent for both alternatives. They charge no hidden fees and they also offer rewards for their most loyal customers who stay with them for a long time.
Rent Masters
Rent Masters pay the rent advances of people who are looking for an apartment or a house to rent. If your application with Rent Masters is approved, they will arrange with your landlord and pay the rent advance directly to them. You will then be required to pay back the monthly instalments to Rent Masters on the first of each month.
