RIGHTS OF LANDLORD AND TENANT IN NIGERIA. (PARTS 1 & 2)

Knowing your rights in a country like Nigeria is very vital. This is because as we all know, everyone is always trying to outsmart one another by taking the least advantage.

It is important that all Nigerians need to know that there is a Tenancy Law in all states that regulate all the affairs of tenancy between the landlord and the tenant. This law states the Rights and duties of the tenant and landlord, provisions of tenancy determination and proper means of ejecting a tenant from a property.
