Landlords’ obligation to tenants in Nigeria
The various tenancy laws in the country provide for the rights landlords enjoy in Nigeria.
However, there are also some obligations, as the landlord must ensure the tenant is well-treated. For instance, the Lagos State Tenancy Law (2011) provides that a landlord cannot unreasonably increase rent.
According to Brains and Harmers, a real estate website, the landlord also has certain obligations to the tenant.
It states:
“Landlords have certain rights and responsibilities that are governed by the law. For example, you have the right to collect rent, evict tenants for non-payment or breach of contract, and inspect your property for damages. You also have the responsibility to provide a habitable and safe environment for your tenants, maintain and repair your property, and respect your tenants’ privacy and quiet enjoyment.”
