"I de top": John Dumelo gives update on promise to get rent advance reduced

John Dumelo Updates on Rent Advance Promise

John Dumelo has updated his promise to reduce rent advance. He aims to cap it at six months instead of one to two years.

During a social media interaction, a citizen reminded him of this promise. Dumelo assured them he is actively working on it.

Before becoming an MP, Dumelo spoke about high rent costs in Ghana. He criticized landlords for demanding illegal rent advances.

As the MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon, he is pushing for reforms. He wants to address the hefty rent advances in Accra.

Dumelo reaffirmed that this issue is a top priority for him. He previously described the practice of asking for one or two years’ rent as unfair and illegal.

He vowed to ensure the Rent Act is respected and enforced. The law allows a maximum advance of six months, but many landlords ignore it.

In 2024, he emphasized the need for Parliament to enforce existing laws. Citizens often remind him of his promise regarding high rents.

Many Ghanaians have praised Dumelo's efforts on social media. They appreciate his commitment to addressing their concerns.

One user thanked him for his concern, while another wished him success in office. Others suggested he could be a great Vice President due to his youthful spirit.

Recently, Dumelo also fixed traffic lights in Oponglo and shared updates online. Many citizens commended him for quickly resolving this road hazard.
