CHAPTER ONE

1. INTRODUCTION

Shelter is a basic necessity in life. An individual can Satisfy this need by either occupying his own (owner’s occupier) property or renting another person property. In our traditional society the need for shelter is mainly met through the first alternative that is owner occupation. With the emergency of urban centers, the situation has changed. Many people are no longer about to own property because of the difficulty in the acquisition of land and the high cost of building construction. Therefore, they are left with the alternative of renting other people’s properties in order to satisfy their need for shelter. Consequently two classes of urban resident have emerged, the landlord and the tenant under this arrangement the tenant pays to the landlord a certain amount of money in consideration for his use of the landlord house. This amount is properly known as rent.

All over the world, renting offers a more affordable way for many people to gain access to accommodation. The provision of adequate housing is a very integral part of the needs of every society and has great value for individual, families, communities and society at large (Opoku and Abdul-muhmin, 2009). Revenue from rent serves as the main source of income for many local government, real estate developer and home owners. The attractive income from rent have led to the conversion of various structures into apartment for rent.

In urban area due to location advantage (for examples prime location) which some properties offers above others for residential uses, rent tend to vary on account of the type of use which a property can offer.
