OVERVIEW OF THE CONCEPT OF RECOVERY OF PREMISES UNDER TENANCY LAW OF LAGOS STATE

The procedure for the recovery of premises is generally regulated by statute. In the absence of any separate agreement with respect to period of notice to be given to a tenant, a landlord is expected to comply with the provisions of the Lagos State Tenancy Law especially in terms of notice before he can recover his premises from a tenant, and going contrary implies that such eviction is invalid. In Lagos State, the following laws govern recovery of premises:

  1. Lagos State Tenancy Law 2011;
  2. Rent Control and Recovery of Residential Premises Edict No. 6, 1997 of Lagos State;
  3. Recovery of Premises Law, Cap. 118, Laws of Lagos State 1973; and
  4. Magistrate Court Law, Laws of Lagos State 2009.
