The Rent Control Department has launched its digital platform to address the loopholes in Ghana’s traditional rental service system.
The platform, rentcontrol.mwh.gov.gh, will allow both landlords and tenants to handle crucial tasks online, such as registering properties, filing complaints and resolving disputes without visiting the Rent Control offices in person.
One of the platform’s key features is its ability to facilitate the digital signing of tenancy agreements, streamlining rental processes and eliminating the need for physical paperwork, which will not only save time but also ensure more secure and transparent record-keeping.
Additionally, the platform will advertise available rental properties online, making it easier for tenants to find accommodation without intermediaries such as agents.
The Deputy Minister for Works and Housing, Dr Prince Hamid Armah, who spoke at yesterday’s launch, said the digital platform was a testament to commitment to efficiency, transparency and inclusivity.
“Today, we celebrate more than just a technological advancement; we are inaugurating a transformative leap in how public services are delivered in Ghana,” Dr Armah stated.
Furthermore, he said his outfit was committed to extending these benefits to all regions of Ghana, positioning the country as a leader in public service innovation across Africa.
“The launch of rentcontrol.mwh.gov.gh represents a new chapter for Ghana’s rental market, promising a more streamlined, transparent and accessible service for all,” Mr Ampofo said.
