RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF PREMISES/PROPERTIES/APARTMENTS
Over the years, legislation has recognized the necessity to govern the interactions between landlords and tenants, aiming to prevent unjustifiable rent hikes, improper eviction or ejectment of tenants by landlords, and unlawful occupancy of premises by tenants, leading to legal provisions for premises recovery.
RESOLVE LANDLORD-TENANT DISAGREEMENTS AND LAWSUITS
Landlord-tenant interactions play a crucial role in the domain of property rentals, yet conflicts may emerge due to diverse issues, including rent payment, property upkeep, and lease conditions.
DIFFERENT FORMS OF TENANCY
The Court of Appeal in the case of Bocas Nigeria Ltd v Wemabod Estates (2016, LPELR – 40193 (CA)) classifies the different types of tenancy as: a) Tenancy at will b) Periodic Tenancy
Eviction Notice, as a written communication from a landlord, serves as a demand for the tenant to surrender and leave the rented premises, effectively terminating the tenancy agreement. It is an explicit and unambiguous notification by the landlord expressing the intention to end the tenancy.
