Rules vary across Accra. I don't have reliable current data on short-term rental regulations or enforcement reality for Accra and Tema, Ghana. These cities' STR frameworks are not well-documented in available sources, and I cannot accurately assess permit requirements, occupancy rules, or actual enforcement levels. I recommend contacting the Accra Metropolitan Assembly and Tema Metropolitan Assembly directly, or consulting local property management professionals for current, accurate information on operating short-term rentals in these cities. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
