Dear Sir, RE: OUIT NOTICE

The above subject matter refers:

We are solicitors to Mr. Sylvester Okata on whose instruction and authority we

write.
`Our client Mr. Sylvester Okata, your tenant has narrated to us what transpired
between both of you. This is as regards to his tenancy at No.9 Monday Akpan
Street, Ago Palace Way , Okota and the purported seven days quit notice you
gave him.

Sir, we have taken a holistic look at the situation vis a vis the seven days quit
notice from you to our client and we have come to the following conclusion:

1. That the Landlord has every right to increase the rent of his house provided
the increment is reasonable, non arbitrary and done in good fate.

2. That Mr. Sylvester Okata is a yearly tenant and where he is not comfortable
with the increment, he must do the needful.
 3. That Mr. Sylvester Okata, as a yearly tenant is entitled to six months quit
notice and the subsequent seven days notice of owner’s intention to apply
to recover possession at the expiration of the six months quit notice.

4. That you have not fulfilled the above conditions precedent before
attempting to eject our client.

5. That any attempt to eject our client without following the dictates of the
Tenancy Law of Lagos State which has been enumerated above, will
amount to illegality.

We therefore advice that you follow the due process to eject our client as any
attempt to eject him illegally will be met with stiff opposition and fought within
the ambits of the law.

Be that as it may, our client has informed us that he is willing to pay Eight
Hundred Thousand Naira Only ( N800,000.00) as rent and not One Million Naira
(N1000,000.00). We are therefore open for further negotiation with you on
behalf of our client to amicably resolve this matter without resorting to
unnecessary litigation.

We hope that you will allow reason to prevail.

Accept our warmest professional regard.
Thank you.

Orji Patrick Chigozie Esq.
