ABSTRACT
The majority of tenants are unaware of their legally protected ability to sublet. They experience severe and unnecessary hardships as a result of their ignorance of the protections that the applicable laws grant them. Tenants' lack of empowerment stems from their ignorance of their rights to sublet in Nigeria, which is a serious challenge. When it comes to subletting their rental properties, many renters are not aware of their legal rights and obligations. Adopting qualitative research methodology, the aim and objective of this study is to flexible, realistic ways to regulate and enforce the relationship between the landlord/tenant/ subtenant and to examine the ostensible rights of a tenant to sublet in Nigeria. Accordingly, the findings of this study explains the word “sublet”, who a subtenant is, and the legal position of a subtenant in Nigeria. This study examines the perspectives of several authors who have contributed significantly to the field of subletting and the leasehold agreement and identifies where these works fall short. In this study, the laws and court cases governing the division of marital property were qualitatively analyzed. The results of this study thus allows for a discuss upon the authority vested in a subtenant, illuminating the legal statutes and safeguards afforded to a subtenants under the scope of law. This study further gives a detailed recommendation stating that it is necessary that landlords should draft lease agreements that clearly outline the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of both parties. Include important details such as rent payment terms, maintenance responsibilities, and any specific rules or restrictions. By providing a comprehensive document, both parties will have a clear understanding of their roles, minimizing misunderstandings.
