Document background
The Non-Exclusive Easement For Ingress And Egress is a vital legal instrument in Nigerian property law, used when one party needs to secure legal rights to access their property through another's land. This document is particularly relevant in situations involving landlocked properties, shared driveways, or multiple commercial tenants requiring access to their facilities. The agreement, governed by Nigerian law including the Land Use Act 1978 and relevant property legislation, carefully balances the rights of both the property owner and the party receiving access rights. It includes essential elements such as precise description of the easement area, permitted uses, maintenance responsibilities, and duration of the rights, while ensuring that the property owner retains primary ownership and usage rights of the area in question.
