AkiliStay verifies properties so you know what you see online is what you get in person. No more ghost listings.
Ghost listings — fake or misleading property ads — are a real problem in Ghana's rental market. Photos that don't match reality, addresses that lead nowhere, amenities that don't exist. Our verification system gives tenants and students confidence that verified properties are real, safe, and accurately represented.
Maximum score: 100/100 • Badge: ✅ Verified
An AkiliStay team member physically visits the property. They check that listing photos match reality, amenities are present, the location is correct, and the property is safe and habitable.
Our inspector also checks Ghana-specific factors:
Available in Accra, Kumasi, Tema, Takoradi, Cape Coast, and other major cities.
Maximum score: 90/100 • Badge: ✅ Video Verified
A live WhatsApp video walkthrough with an AkiliStay team member. The property owner walks through the entire property — exterior, rooms, kitchen, bathroom, compound, and street view — while our team verifies everything in real time.
We use WhatsApp because it's what everyone in Ghana uses, works on low bandwidth, and requires no extra app. The same checklist is used as physical inspection, but the score ceiling is 90 since video can't fully verify everything.
Maximum score: 80/100 • Badge: 📄 Document Verified
The property owner submits ownership and management documents. Our team reviews them for authenticity and consistency. No visit or call needed — great for a quick initial verification.
Required documents:
Optional: Business Registration Certificate, Site Plan, Building Permit

Yes. Once your current verification expires (after 6 months), you can request a new verification using a different method. For example, if you started with Document Review, you can request a Physical Inspection next time for a higher score ceiling.
You will receive specific feedback on what needs to be fixed. Once addressed, you can request a new verification at any time.
All verification documents are stored securely and are only accessible to the AkiliStay verification team. We use encrypted storage and signed URLs with expiry.
