A tenancy relationship is established and formed by an agreement entered into by the landlord who is the owner of the premises and the tenant, who is desirous of the use and enjoyment of possession of the said premises on the terms and conditions freely agreed upon by the both of them. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #tenancy #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #mesneprofit #possession #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni

A grantee of land under customary law, which (land) he holds in perpetuity determinable only upon proof of bad behaviour against the grantor or his successors-in-title. The right of a customary tenant to remain on the land is perpetual if he is of good behaviour. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #tenancy #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #mesneprofit #possession #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni

It cannot be over-emphasized that recovery of possession of a premises from a tenant in lawful occupation thereof by a landlord must only be obtained by virtue of an order of Court obtained after hearing the parties pursuant to the provisions of the Recovery of Premises Law. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #tenancy #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #Recovery #possession #Court #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni

Where a tenant has been properly placed in possession of a land by the Landlord or his agent, that is, if a tenant lawfully took possession of a property or land, the possession of the property or land can only be recovered by the landlord by order of Court, except where the tenant voluntarily gave up his possession. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #Possession #recovery #Country #Premises #tenancy #Family #Court #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #mesneprofit #possession #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni

It is not the law of this country that a landlord has unbridled right to invade premises in the lawful occupation of a tenant and cart his goods and belongings away even for safe keeping, more so when the intention of the landlord is to recover possession after refusal by the tenant to pay higher rent. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #Possession #recovery #Country #Premises #tenancy #Court #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #mesneprofit #possession #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni

A landlord is someone who rents a room, building or piece of land to someone else. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #tenancy #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #mesneprofit #possession #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni

In Recovery of Premises, serving statutory notice as provided by the law is a condition precedent to the exercise of jurisdiction. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #Possession #recovery #Country #Premises #tenancy #Family #Court #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #mesneprofit #possession #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni

In a Tenancy relationship, the position of the law is that the nature of a tenancy determines the length of notice to be given before a Landlord can apply for the recovery of the demised premises. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #tenancy #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #mesneprofit #possession #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni

Nobody can deny the immutable position of our law which provides for certain condition precedents for the recovery of possession over premises, to the effect that such a recovery must be done through the instrumentality of the Courts. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #Possession #recovery #Country #Premises #tenancy #Family #Court #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #mesneprofit #possession #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni

What may amount to bad behaviour by a customary tenant that can deny him perpetual enjoyment of the land may be enunciated as follows: 1. Denial of the title of the overlord in any circumstance; 2. Refusal to pay the traditional or customary tribute. 3. Alienation of the land or portions of it without the consent of the overlord. 4. Use of the land for purposes other than that for which it was granted. 5. Giving evidence in favour of opponents of the overlord in a litigation involving the land, or testifying against the overlord. #landlord #tenant #rent #property #house #tenancy #law #lawfirm #lawyer #counsel #attorney #arrears #mesneprofit #possession #legal #advice #claimant #plaintiff #defendant #aoayeni
