Looking to rent out your residential property in Lagos? Here is a handy list to keep in mind.
Understand what is involved.
Can you handle the responsibilities that come with being a landlord? While the benefits of being the owner of a property rental are numerous, it also comes with obligations such as the ability to sometimes deal with difficult tenants, vacant periods and stay on top repairs and maintenance.
Know the law.
You must give the tenant prior notice if you wish to change the lease terms or not renew the tenancy contract (unless otherwise agreed by the parties). This also applies with respect to rent increases. If you wish to sell or use the residential property for your personal use, you must provide a notice stating the applicable reason, through notary public or registered mail.
