Document background
The Notice of Intent to Terminate Lease is a fundamental document in Nigerian property law relationships, used when either a landlord or tenant wishes to formally end a lease agreement. This notice must be provided within the timeframe specified in the original lease agreement and in accordance with Nigerian property legislation, particularly the Recovery of Premises Act and state-specific tenancy laws. The document serves as official proof of intention to terminate and typically includes key information such as property details, parties involved, termination date, and notice period compliance. It's essential for maintaining clear communication between parties and protecting legal rights in both residential and commercial property contexts. The notice can be initiated for various reasons, including end of term, breach of contract, property sale, or personal use, and must be properly served to the other party to be legally effective.
