Document background
The Simple Lot Rental Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Nigeria when a landowner wishes to rent out an undeveloped or partially developed plot of land to a tenant. This document type is essential for establishing clear rental terms while ensuring compliance with Nigerian land use laws, particularly the Land Use Act of 1978 and state-specific property regulations. It's commonly used for various purposes including agricultural use, temporary storage, future development projects, or other commercial activities. The agreement typically includes essential elements such as property description, rental terms, permitted use, maintenance obligations, and termination conditions. It's designed to protect both landlord and tenant interests while providing a legally enforceable framework for the rental relationship.
