In Nigeria, most tenants do not realise that the law allows them to sue their landlords for trespass. The thought seems nearly abominable to some but the constitution allows a tenant to sue if a landlord if he trepasses on his own property that he has rented to you or tries to effect a forceful eviction. A tenant also has the right to demand for a signed agreement from the landlord just as much as the tenant has the right to enjoy the property paid for without disturbance. And there are even more rights. Whether it’s residential or commercial, the tenant is adequately protected under the law.
