In Nigeria
Last Updated: Jun 9, 2025

I pay my rent yearly. My rent expired March 28 2025. Which I told the landlords lawyer that please, I'll be needing 4 to 6months to move out because of my I and my wife's work distance. But was surprised to see him bring notice to quit dated may 10th to quit by June 11th. That's 1month notice. I pay yearly and don't owe rent. I one month notice right? Because I know this is not right.

Once you are not paying rent as you are presently. You become a Tenant at will and is only entitled to a week notice that is owner's intention to recover premises. Your landlord is nice to have even given you a month Notice
