Document background
The Landlord To Tenant Notice To Vacate is a crucial legal document in Nigerian property law, used when a landlord wishes to terminate a tenancy and recover possession of their property. This document must be drafted in accordance with the Recovery of Premises Act and state-specific tenancy laws, which vary across Nigeria's different states. It serves as formal communication initiating the property recovery process and must include specific elements such as proper identification of parties and property, clear vacation deadlines, and statutory notice periods. The notice can be issued for various reasons including lease expiration, property sale, renovation, or breach of tenancy terms. Proper service of this notice is a prerequisite for any legal action to recover premises in Nigerian courts, making it essential for property owners and managers to ensure correct formatting and delivery.
