Document background
The 7 Day Eviction Notice is a crucial legal document in Nigerian property law, primarily governed by the Recovery of Premises Act and state-specific tenancy laws. This notice is specifically designed for situations requiring expedited vacation of premises, such as serious breaches of lease terms, illegal activities, or other urgent circumstances warranting immediate action. The document must include precise details about the property, parties involved, grounds for eviction, and the specified vacation date. While longer notice periods are more common in Nigerian tenancy law, the 7-day notice is reserved for specific circumstances where shorter notice periods are legally permissible. The notice serves as both a formal communication to the tenant and a prerequisite for any subsequent legal action for recovery of possession.
