The Notice of Late Rent and Demand for Payment is a crucial document in Nigerian property management, typically issued when a tenant has failed to pay rent by the due date specified in their lease agreement. This formal notice serves multiple purposes: it officially documents the rent default, demands payment within a specified timeframe, and establishes a paper trail for potential legal proceedings. The document must comply with Nigerian federal laws such as the Recovery of Premises Act and relevant state-specific tenancy laws, which govern the landlord-tenant relationship and specify requirements for such notices. Property owners and managers use this notice as a first formal step in addressing rent defaults, often before pursuing more serious legal remedies such as eviction proceedings. The notice typically includes specific details about the property, amount owed, payment deadline, and consequences of continued non-payment.
