About CediHomes

Rent a verified home in Ghana without paying two years upfront to a stranger.

What we do

Verified listings plus escrow plus a rent-advance alternative. Every property is physically verified with photos, video and confirmation of the landlord's title, and agents are registered and rated. The advance is paid into escrow and released to the landlord monthly rather than in one lump, with a guarantee product that pays the landlord their advance while the tenant pays monthly, underwritten on income verification. Landlords get their certainty, tenants get monthly payments, and nobody wires money to a stranger.

Who we built it for

• Renters

  Renters in Accra, Kumasi and Tema, especially returning diaspora and young professionals.

• Landlords

  Landlords who want reliable tenants and their money with certainty.

• Agents

  Agents who want to be trusted, registered and rated.

The problem

Ghana's rental market demands one to two years of rent in advance, paid to an agent or a landlord the tenant has often never met, for a property they may have seen once.

Fake listings and agents collecting advances on properties they do not control are common, and the tenant has no recourse.

The advance requirement itself excludes most people from decent housing.
