The Landlord Tenant Agreement To Terminate Lease is a crucial document used in Nigerian property law when both parties mutually agree to end a lease before its scheduled termination date. This document is essential in both residential and commercial contexts, providing a clear legal framework for early lease termination while ensuring compliance with federal and state-level property laws. It should be used when both parties have reached an amicable decision to end the lease early and need to document the terms of separation, including property handover, final payments, and mutual release from future obligations. The agreement typically includes provisions for security deposit return, final inspection procedures, and settlement of any outstanding issues, all while adhering to local Nigerian legal requirements and customs. It serves as a protective measure for both landlord and tenant, preventing future disputes and providing clear documentation of the termination process.
