Document background
The Notice To Quit By Landlord is a crucial legal document in Nigerian property law, used when a landlord wishes to formally terminate a tenancy agreement. This notice must comply with the Recovery of Premises Act or relevant state laws, such as the Lagos Tenancy Law 2011, which specify mandatory notice periods based on the tenancy type. The document is required when ending periodic tenancies, dealing with breach of tenancy terms, or when the landlord requires possession of the property for other purposes. It must include specific details such as property identification, parties involved, notice period, and vacation date. The notice serves as evidence that proper legal procedure was followed and is often a prerequisite for any further legal action to recover possession of the property.
