Document background
The Eviction Notice To Vacate Premises is a critical legal document used in Nigerian property law when a landlord seeks to terminate a tenancy and recover possession of their property. This notice must be served in accordance with the Recovery of Premises Act and applicable state tenancy laws, which vary across Nigeria's different states. The document is utilized in situations such as rent default, breach of lease terms, property sale, or when the landlord requires the property for personal use. It must include specific details about the property, clear identification of all parties, explicit grounds for eviction, and the statutory notice period, which varies depending on the type of tenancy and location within Nigeria. The notice serves as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings if the tenant fails to comply with the vacation requirement.
