The Sublet Roommate Agreement is essential for formalizing shared living arrangements in Nigeria where an existing tenant wishes to sublet a portion of their rented property to another person. This document is particularly relevant in urban areas with high rental demand, such as Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, where shared accommodation is common. The agreement ensures compliance with Nigerian tenancy laws and state-specific regulations while protecting the rights and defining the obligations of both the original tenant and the new roommate. It covers crucial aspects such as rent sharing, security deposits, utility payments, common area usage, and house rules. This document is commonly used in situations involving student housing, young professionals, or anyone seeking to share rental costs legally and safely. The agreement must align with the master lease terms and may require landlord approval as per Nigerian property laws.
