How much notice do I need to give to end a lease in Ghana?

Most residential leases in Accra require 30–90 days notice. The exact terms depend on your agreement. Expat GH reviews your lease and manages the termination process to protect your deposit.

Can Expat GH handle international shipping from Ghana?

Yes. We work with licensed freight forwarders and customs brokers to manage sea and air freight from Accra. This includes packing, documentation, customs clearance, and coordination with receiving agents at your destination.

How it works

Departure briefing

Six to eight weeks before your move-out date, we review all your active contracts, leases and obligations together.

Contract & deposit management

We serve formal notices, handle landlord negotiations, and chase your security deposit — you do nothing.

Packing & inventory

Our removals partners pack and catalogue every item. You review and sign off the inventory before loading.

Shipping & clearance

We manage export documentation, Tema Port customs clearance, and coordinate delivery to your destination.

Plan your departure

The earlier you brief us, the smoother the exit. Share your target move-out date and we will build a timeline.
