In Lagos, Nigeria, the duration of a quit notice a landlord must give a tenant depends on the type of tenancy:

  1. Monthly Tenancy – At least one month’s notice.
  2. Quarterly Tenancy – At least three months’ notice.
  3. Half-Yearly Tenancy – At least three months’ notice.
  4. Yearly Tenancy – At least six months’ notice.

These durations are provided under the Recovery of Premises Law of Lagos State. However, if the tenancy agreement specifies a different notice period, that agreed duration will apply.
