Landlord to refund GHc6,500 to prospective tenant

The Sunyani District Court ‘A’ on Monday ordered Samuel Oteng, a landlord at

Asuakwaa, a suburb of the Sunyani Municipality, to refund GHc6,500 he collected from a prospective tenant.

The court, presided by Mr Divine Kwaku Ahiadu entered judgement in favour of Mr Osondo Chikezie, the plaintiff, with a 20 percent interest charge in addition to GHc500.00 cost.

The plaintiff filed a suit in court to enable him to re-claim GHc5,000 defendant collected from him (plaintiff), in November 2020.

Mr Obeng collected the money to complete a self-contained single room to be rented out to plaintiff, but he could not fulfil the agreement.

The defendant requested additional amount from the plaintiff to be able to complete the room, but the plaintiff refused and instead demanded a refund of the money.

The defendant agreed to pay the amount, as failure to do so would result in the sale of (his) property to pay the amount to plaintiff. -GNA
