A Rental Cancellation Letter is a crucial document in Nigerian property law, used when either a tenant or landlord wishes to formally terminate a rental agreement. This document must comply with Nigerian federal legislation, particularly the Rent Control and Recovery of Residential Premises Act, as well as state-specific tenancy laws. The letter serves as official documentation of the intent to end the lease, typically requiring specific notice periods (usually 1-6 months, depending on the type of tenancy and jurisdiction within Nigeria). It should include precise details about the property, parties involved, termination date, and arrangements for property inspection and key return. The document is essential for both residential and commercial properties and helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting the termination process.
