Document background
The Quit Notice From Landlord To Tenant is a crucial document in Nigerian property law that initiates the formal process of terminating a tenancy and recovering possession of a property. This document is required when a landlord wishes to end a tenancy agreement, whether due to lease expiration, property sale, renovation plans, tenant breach, or other valid reasons. The notice must comply with Nigerian federal legislation (Recovery of Premises Act) and state-specific tenancy laws, which mandate different notice periods depending on the tenancy type (weekly, monthly, or yearly). The document serves as official communication and a legal prerequisite for any future court action for possession. It must include specific details about the property, parties involved, and the exact vacation date, while following strict service requirements to ensure legal validity.
