The Rent A Room Tenancy Agreement is a specialized legal document used in Nigeria for situations where a landlord lets out a single room within a property while retaining control over common areas. This type of agreement is particularly common in urban areas and around educational institutions where room rentals are prevalent. The document addresses specific requirements under Nigerian law, including the Rent Control and Recovery of Residential Premises Act and relevant state legislation. It's designed to provide clear terms for both parties regarding rent payments, security deposits, maintenance responsibilities, and use of shared facilities. The agreement is essential for formalizing room rentals and preventing disputes by clearly defining the rights and obligations of both landlord and tenant in accordance with Nigerian legal requirements.
