The Notice To Vacate Squatters is a crucial legal instrument in Nigerian property law, used when unauthorized individuals occupy private or public property without permission or legal right. This document is typically employed after informal attempts to resolve the situation have failed and before initiating formal court proceedings. It must comply with the Land Use Act of 1978, the Recovery of Premises Act, and relevant state property laws. The notice serves as formal documentation of the demand to vacate and can be used as evidence in subsequent legal proceedings if necessary. It includes critical information such as property details, vacation deadline, legal basis for the demand, and potential consequences of non-compliance. The document is particularly important in Nigeria's urban and developing areas where unauthorized occupation of land and properties is a significant concern.
