A Breach of Lease Letter is a critical document in Nigerian property law used when a tenant violates terms of their lease agreement. This formal notification is typically issued before taking any legal action for lease enforcement and serves as evidence in potential court proceedings. The document must comply with Nigerian federal legislation, particularly the Recovery of Premises Act, as well as state-specific tenancy laws. When drafting a Breach of Lease Letter, careful attention must be paid to accurately describing the breach, citing relevant lease clauses, and providing clear remedy timelines. The letter should be professionally formatted and may need to be served through proper legal channels depending on the jurisdiction within Nigeria. It forms part of the formal documentation required for any subsequent legal proceedings and should be retained for record-keeping purposes.
