An End Of Lease Letter To Landlord is a crucial document in Nigerian property law that formally communicates a tenant's intention to terminate their lease agreement. This document is required when a tenant plans to vacate a property, whether at the natural end of the lease term or during an allowable termination period. It must comply with Nigerian federal legislation, particularly the Recovery of Premises Act, as well as state-specific tenancy laws. The letter typically includes essential information such as property details, termination dates, inspection requests, and arrangements for security deposit return. Under Nigerian law, proper notice periods must be observed, which vary depending on the type of tenancy and specific state regulations. This document serves as legal protection for both parties and helps ensure a smooth transition of property possession.
