Document background
The Notice To Vacate After Lease Expires is a crucial document in Nigerian property law that landlords or property managers must use when they intend to regain possession of their property at the end of a lease term. It must comply with the Recovery of Premises Act and state-specific tenancy laws, which typically require specific notice periods depending on the type of tenancy. The document should be served well in advance of the lease expiration date and must include precise details about the property, parties involved, and the final date for vacating the premises. This notice is particularly important in Nigeria's property market as it provides legal protection for landlords and clear direction for tenants, while helping avoid potential disputes over lease termination. The document is commonly used in both residential and commercial property contexts and must be properly served to ensure legal validity.
