Document background
The Notice Of Lease Termination By Landlord is a crucial legal document used in Nigerian property law when a landlord wishes to end a lease agreement. This document must be prepared in accordance with the Recovery of Premises Act and state-specific tenancy laws, which vary across Nigeria's different states. It is typically used when the landlord needs to reclaim the property due to various reasons such as breach of lease terms, property sale, renovation requirements, or personal use. The notice must include specific information including property details, clear termination date, and proper notice periods as prescribed by state law (commonly ranging from one month to six months depending on the tenancy type). The document serves as official evidence of the landlord's intention to terminate the lease and can be crucial in any subsequent legal proceedings for recovery of premises.
