Document background
The Landlord Tenant Utility Agreement is essential for property arrangements in Nigeria where utilities form a significant aspect of the tenancy relationship. This document is typically used when there is a need to establish clear guidelines for utility management separate from the main lease agreement. It specifically addresses the provision, measurement, payment, and maintenance of utilities such as electricity, water, gas, and related services. The agreement ensures compliance with Nigerian property laws and utility regulations while providing a structured framework for managing utility-related matters. This specialized agreement becomes particularly important in properties with shared utilities, sub-metering arrangements, or where the landlord maintains responsibility for utility provision. The document helps prevent disputes by clearly defining responsibilities and procedures for both parties.
