This document serves as a legally binding Lodger Tenancy Agreement under Nigerian law, specifically designed for situations where a property owner wishes to rent out a room or rooms in their primary residence while continuing to live there. It differs from standard tenancy agreements as it creates a license to occupy rather than a lease, reflecting the more informal nature of lodger arrangements and the landlord's continued residence in the property. The agreement includes essential provisions for rent, deposit, shared facilities usage, house rules, and notice periods, while ensuring compliance with Nigerian federal and state-specific property laws. It's particularly useful for homeowners looking to generate additional income through room rental, students seeking accommodation, or professionals requiring temporary housing arrangements.
