Quit Notice Legal Requirements
Summary
In Edo State, landlords must provide a quit notice based on tenancy type, even without a formal agreement. Weekly tenants require 7 days notice, monthly tenants 1 month, quarterly tenants 3 months, and yearly tenants 6 months. If the property is inherited, obtain a Letter of Administration or Probate to establish legal rights. For properties at risk of collapse, issue an urgent eviction notice for tenant safety. Ensure all notices clearly state the required vacate period. If tenants remain after the notice period, legal action may be necessary.Full Conversation
