Minority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, has called on the Ministry of Water Resources, Works and Housing and Rent Control to take steps to enforce the Rent Act to prevent exploitation of tenants by landlords.Most landlords in the country disregard the Rent Control Law and usually demand more than two years’ advance.Speaking on the issue on the floor of Parliament, Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said the average Ghanaian spends more than 70% of his income on food and hence high rent charges would worsen the situation.He also charged government to double effort to reduce the huge housing deficit in the country.However, Alhaji Collins Dauda, Minister for Works and Housing, in May this year said his Ministry would consult the Ghana Real Estate Developers Association (GREEDA) on how to deal with the country’s 1.7 million housing deficit.
