🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 *UEW-SRC* ________________________________________ *HOUSING COMMITTEE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN - _KNOW YOUR RENT RIGHTS: Protecting Every Student Tenant_* 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱 Dear Students, The Housing Committee of the SRC recognizes the urgent need to educate our cherished student community on their rights and responsibilities as tenants. As part of our commitment to student welfare, it has become increasingly important to bring awareness of tenant rights directly to students—empowering them to stand against exploitation and unjust treatment by certain hostel owners and caretakers. Since the commencement of the 30th SRC Administration, the Housing Committee has recorded numerous reports of student tenants being treated unfairly—ranging from unlawful rent charges to forced evictions and breaches of rental agreements. Unfortunately, many of these students lacked adequate knowledge of their rights and were thus unable to seek redress. In response, the Housing Committee has launched a comprehensive Student Tenant Rights Awareness Campaign in close collaboration with the SRC Executive Committee and relevant legal stakeholders. This campaign seeks to heighten awareness of the laws, policies, and statutory provisions that protect student tenants—drawing its legal authority primarily from the Rent Control Act of Ghana and relevant regulatory frameworks of the University of Education, Winneba. Over the coming days, this campaign will roll out a series of targeted educational initiatives designed to inform student tenants of their rights, responsibilities, and the proper channels to seek support when faced with rental disputes. Our goal is to foster peaceful, lawful, and respectful coexistence between students and landlords/landladies within the Winneba township. We call on all student tenants to actively engage with this campaign, equip themselves with knowledge, and become advocates for fair and just housing practices. Together, we build a stronger, more informed student body. ⸻ _Issued by:_ *Stephanie Ama Brago* *Housing Committee Secretary* _________________________________ *30th SRC Administration,* *2024/2025©️* ________________________________
