Renting in Oyo State (Ibadan)? A written tenancy agreement is the one document that protects both landlord and tenant — the rent, the duration, the caution fee, and the notice each side must give before the tenancy ends. DocOga builds a complete, standard Nigerian agreement in about two minutes — free, no signup, straight from your phone.
Where the agreement is silent, courts in most states — including Oyo — apply the traditional graduated framework:
| Type of tenancy | Minimum notice to quit |
|---|---|
| Tenant at will | 1 week |
| Monthly | 1 month |
| Quarterly | 3 months |
| Half-yearly | 3 months |
| Yearly | 6 months |
Agree the advance in writing in the tenancy agreement before any money moves.
