Honourable Member of Parliament (MP) for Ketu North, Eric Edem Agbana, at the 9th Parliament of Ghana, has delivered a statement on the floor of Parliament, highlighting the challenges within the current rent regime and the urgent need for comprehensive reforms.

In Parliament, he proposed key recommendations, including an immediate review of the outdated Rent Act, the transformation of the Rent Control Department into a fully-fledged National Rent Authority, and the standardization of rent nationwide to prevent the arbitrary determination of rent by landlords.
