The Notice of Termination of Lease by Landlord is a crucial legal document used in Nigerian property law when a landlord wishes to end a lease agreement. This document is essential for proper lease termination and must comply with federal and state-specific legislation, including the Recovery of Premises Act and relevant state tenancy laws. It is typically used when the lease term is ending, there are breaches of lease terms, or the property is required for other purposes. The notice must include specific information such as property details, termination date, grounds for termination, and vacation requirements. Proper service of this notice is crucial for legal validity, and the notice periods must align with statutory requirements, which vary depending on the type of tenancy and location within Nigeria. The document serves as the first formal step in the legal process of recovering premises and can be used as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings if necessary.
