The Guinean government, in collaboration with the Union for Consumer Defense of Guinea (UDCG) and a consulting firm, is set to launch a practical guide for tenants on October 15, 2026, in Conakry. This guide aims to provide citizens with a reference document to promote and defend their fundamental rights as tenants. The guide will serve as a collection of legislative, regulatory texts, and laws in force in Guinea regarding rental matters.

According to M'bany Sidibé, President of the Union for Consumer Defense of Guinea and head of the consulting firm, the guide is designed to educate and inform tenants about their rights and obligations. It will also serve as a tool for tenants to defend their rights and improve their relationships with landlords. Sidibé emphasized that the guide is a significant step towards promoting and defending the fundamental rights of tenants in Guinea.

The guide is expected to be widely distributed, with the goal of providing one million copies to tenants across the country. Sidibé expressed his ambition to make the guide accessible to all tenants, enabling them to defend their rights with confidence and knowledge. The launch of the guide is seen as a major breakthrough in the protection of tenants' rights in Guinea.

The guide is part of their efforts to provide tenants with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate the rental market. By providing a comprehensive guide, the organizations aim to reduce disputes and promote harmonious relationships between tenants and landlords.

The launch of the guide is scheduled to take place on October 15, 2026, in Conakry. The event is expected to bring together stakeholders from the government, civil society, and the private sector. The guide will be widely available, and its contents will be explained and discussed during the launch event.
