5 Important Renting Tips for Kumasi 2026
1. Advance: Most landlords still ask for 1-2 years advance. Negotiate to 1 year if you can.
2. Agency Fee: Expect 10% of 1 year rent. Always collect receipt.
3. Water & Light: Ask if it’s prepaid, shared, or included before you pay.
4. Location vs Work: Don’t just go cheap. A GHS 300 room in Piase with GHS 50 daily transport is not cheap.
5. View First: Never pay for a room you haven’t seen and tested the water/light.

Budget GHS 700 – GHS 1,200: Abuakwa, Boadi, Sokoban are best value
