A young Ghanaian lady paid GH¢3500 monthly as rent for a chamber and hall self-contained she lives in around Madina in the Greater Accra region.
The lady said she owns a shop where she sells some things. She did not mention what she deals in.
In a video on Facebook, the lady showed two apartments she saw when she searched for a place to rent.
She complained about the cost of living in Accra and also gave reasons she did not like the first place she saw.
“Living in Accra is so hard these days. If you’re getting a luxurious place or a place that meets your standard, it requires a lot of money.”
The young lady said even though the first apartment was beautiful she did not like it because of the location and distance from her shop to the house.
She later found another apartment close to her shop which she loved.
“I really loved the interior. It already had in-built cupboards, the kitchen is amazing and the washroom is amazing. There is a vanity mirror. All these for GH¢3500 a month. It is super worth it.”
She said the only thing she did not like was the tiles, but she hoped to change it when she moved into the apartment.
In Ghana, most landlords request for a minimum of two years’ rent advance. The young lady did not state how many years advance she paid but if she was paying for two years, it meant she paid GH¢84,000.
The young lady indicated that she was not raising all the money to pay for the apartment by herself. She said her mother supported her to pay for it.
“As you guys know, I’m still a mummy’s girl so my mummy helped me pay.”
