  • Mika Turkson, the daughter of the landlord of the residence that has been transformed into the popular 'Chez Toi' lounge, has taken to social media to disclose how their family home was turned into a night club and lounge without their knowledge.

The article from GhanaWeb discusses a contentious situation in Osu, Accra, where a tenant, without the consent of the property owner, transformed a family home into a popular night club and lounge named "Coco Lounge." The tenant, who initially rented the property for residential purposes, began operating the club in 2019, leading to significant disturbances for neighbors due to noise and increased traffic. Despite the owner's attempts to address the issue, the tenant has not only failed to pay rent for over three years but also refused to vacate the premises. The owner, who has been living abroad, has now returned to Ghana to seek legal redress, highlighting the tenant's breach of contract and the unauthorized commercial use of the property. The case has drawn attention to the challenges of property management and tenant rights in Ghana.
