The Termination of Lease By Tenant document is a crucial legal instrument in Nigerian property law that enables tenants to formally end their lease agreements. It must comply with both federal legislation (particularly the Recovery of Premises Act) and state-specific tenancy laws, which vary across Nigeria's different states. This document is typically used when a tenant wishes to end their lease, either at the end of the term or during the term if permitted by the lease agreement. It must include specific details such as property identification, clear termination intent, proposed vacation date, and compliance with notice periods. The document serves as official evidence of the tenant's intention to terminate and helps protect both parties' interests during the termination process. It's essential in both residential and commercial contexts and may be required for legal proceedings if disputes arise regarding the termination.
