6.1 Property Listings
All listings are subject to admin review and approval before publication. Ahenfie reserves the right to reject, modify, remove, or suspend any listing that violates our policies, contains inaccurate information, or does not meet platform quality standards.
6.2 Rental Applications & Tenant Screening
Tenant applications, including personal, employment, financial, and background check information, are reviewed by Ahenfie administrators before being forwarded to landlords. Ahenfie is not responsible for landlord decisions to approve or reject applications.
6.3 Payment & Escrow
Payments are processed through PCI-DSS compliant gateways (including Paystack and mobile money providers) and held in escrow until move-in confirmation or as specified in the booking agreement. A 10% platform commission is applied to rental transactions. Refund eligibility depends on booking status, landlord terms, and the circumstances of cancellation.
6.4 Maintenance Requests
Tenants may submit maintenance requests with supporting photos, videos, and descriptions. Landlords are solely responsible for addressing requests in a timely manner. Ahenfie facilitates communication and tracking but assumes no liability for repair quality, delays, or costs.

6.6 AI-Powered Features
Ahenfie offers AI-assisted tools including property valuations, tenant screening analysis, lease generation, and listing recommendations. These features are provided for informational and convenience purposes only and do not constitute professional legal, financial, or real estate advice. Users should seek independent professional advice for material decisions.
6.7 Dispute Resolution
Users may file disputes through the Ahenfie platform with supporting evidence. Ahenfie may offer AI-assisted mediation suggestions and, at its sole discretion, facilitate admin intervention. Ahenfie is not a legal arbitrator and its involvement does not substitute formal legal proceedings.
6.8 Recruitment & Hiring Services
Ahenfie operates a job board and recruitment toolkit that allows employers to post job listings, collect applications, screen candidates with AI-assisted scoring, schedule interviews, and manage hiring workflows. Employers are responsible for the accuracy of job postings, lawfulness of screening criteria, and compliance with Ghanaian labour and employment laws. Applicants submit personal data, resumes, and screening answers voluntarily. Ahenfie facilitates the process but is not a party to any employment relationship and does not guarantee hiring outcomes.
6.9 Social Media Marketing
Ahenfie may publish approved property listings and promotional content to connected social media accounts, including Facebook Pages, Instagram Business accounts, and X (Twitter), via authorised integrations. Landlords consent to their listing media (photos, descriptions, pricing) being shared on these channels when they opt in to social media promotion. Ahenfie does not control third-party platform policies and is not responsible for content visibility, reach, or engagement on external networks.
