A Tenant Demand Letter is a critical legal document used in Nigerian property management and real estate practices when formal action is required against non-compliant tenants. This document is typically employed when informal attempts to resolve tenancy issues have failed and serves as a prerequisite to legal proceedings. The letter must comply with Nigerian federal legislation, including the Recovery of Premises Act, as well as state-specific tenancy laws. It is used to formally demand outstanding rent payments, address lease violations, or require specific actions from tenants. The Tenant Demand Letter should clearly state the demands, provide specific payment details or compliance requirements, and outline consequences of non-compliance. It serves as important documentary evidence in any subsequent legal proceedings and helps establish the landlord's compliance with legal notice requirements under Nigerian law.
