Tenant Rights 2025 : Due to rising inflation, buying a home has become increasingly expensive, and most people choose to live on rent because of limited budgets. However, living on rent can also bring challenges — such as the landlord increasing the rent arbitrarily or asking the tenant to vacate the house. In such cases, it is important for tenants to know their five key rights so they can protect themselves from any unfair situations or the landlord’s misuse of authority. These rights ensure that tenants can live securely and prevent any kind of mistreatment.
Hence, every tenant must be aware of their rights so that no one can take undue advantage of them and they can avoid unnecessary troubles.

Tenant Rights :
1. A Tenant Cannot be Evicted before the Agreed Period:
According to the law, under a valid rent agreement, a tenant cannot be asked to vacate the house before the agreed duration.
However, if the tenant (Property rules for tenant) fails to pay rent for more than two months or uses the property for any purpose not mentioned in the agreement, then the landlord has the right to ask them to vacate.
Even in such situations, the landlord must provide at least 15 days’ prior written notice to the tenant (tenants rights for property).
The eviction process must always follow transparency and proper legal procedures.

2. 90 Days’ Notice before Increasing Rent:
If a landlord wishes to increase the rent, they are legally required to give a 90-day notice to the tenant.
Sudden rent hikes are not acceptable.
Moreover, tenants have the right to demand basic amenities such as water, parking, and electricity. The landlord (makan malik ke adhikar) cannot deny these essential facilities.
Under these rights (Tenancy law), every tenant is entitled to a decent and livable environment, and the landlord must ensure the availability of such basic facilities.

3. Landlord is responsible for House Maintenance:
Once a rent agreement (Rent agreement rules) is signed, certain terms and conditions automatically come into effect.
If anything in the house gets damaged or needs repair, it is the landlord’s responsibility to fix it.
If the landlord fails to do so, the tenant can request a reduction in rent (house rent ke niyam). In such cases, tenants (kirayedar ke adhikar) have the right to negotiate with the landlord regarding rent adjustments.
If the issue remains unresolved, the tenant can approach the appropriate legal authority for dispute resolution.

4. Tenant must be informed before landlord visits
Once a rent agreement (Rent agreement rules) is finalized, the landlord should not disturb the tenant unnecessarily.
If the landlord wants to carry out repairs or any other work inside the house, they must notify the tenant at least 24 hours in advance, preferably in writing.
Additionally, if the tenant (Tenant’s property rules) is not at home, the landlord has no right to open the locks or enter the house.
The landlord cannot remove or touch the tenant’s belongings without their permission.
These rules safeguard tenants’ privacy and ensure their rights are protected.

5. Right to receive rent receipts:
One of the most important rights of a tenant is to receive a rent receipt from the landlord.
This document can serve as strong proof if any dispute arises — for example, if the landlord tries to evict the tenant (Tenant’s property rights) before the rental period ends.
In such a situation, the tenant can present the rent receipts in court as evidence.
These receipts serve as legal proof of rent payment and help protect tenants from unjust eviction or false claims.

Gjrich:
The Palestinian or Deuteronomic Covenant, also known as the Land Covenant, can be found in the Bible in Deuteronomy 29:1-29 and Deuteronomy 30:1-10.

Specifically, some key verses that outline this covenant include:

1. Deuteronomy 29:1-15: Describes the covenant made between God and Israel in the land of Moab.

2. Deuteronomy 30:1-10: Outlines God's promise to restore Israel to the land and have compassion on them.

This covenant focuses on Israel's relationship with the Promised Land and includes promises.

1. Restoration to the Land: God will gather the scattered Israelites from all over the world and bring them back into the land He promised to their ancestors.

2. Regeneration: God will circumcise their hearts so they will obey Him.

3. Prosperity: God will bless Israel abundantly.

The Palestinian Covenant is unconditional and unilateral, meaning it depends on God's faithfulness rather than Israel's obedience

What business does Obi do

The Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) has reaffirmed its unanimous support for the establishment of state police as a measure to tackle the escalating security crisis across the region and the country at large.

The forum’s position was disclosed on Thursday by Isma’ila Uba Misilli, Director-General of Press Affairs to the NSGF Chairman and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya. He noted that the 19 northern governors had already adopted the proposal during a meeting with traditional rulers in Kaduna earlier this year.

“They unanimously adopted it and asked the National Assembly to expedite action. So now it’s not within their mandate, but with the National Assembly to provide a law for its establishment. The forum is fully in support of the creation of the state police,” Misilli said.

The renewed backing comes after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu restated his commitment to establishing state police as part of broader security reforms. It also follows growing calls from northern groups for urgent measures to curb rising insecurity.

The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) recently warned that northern communities had been “pushed to the wall” and must defend themselves, while the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) urged Tinubu to declare a state of emergency on security. Governors from the six North-East states also met with the president in Abuja this week, decrying the worsening violence in their region.

While many stakeholders agree on the need for decentralised policing, concerns persist over how state police would operate. The ACF, though cautiously supportive, stressed that constitutional procedures must be followed to avoid abuse.

ACF National Publicity Secretary, Prof. T. A. Muhammad-Baba, said funding remains a major question:

“Do you see how some states have issues with salary payments to civil servants? How well prepared are states to fund state police when created? What will happen if state police operatives with arms are not paid at the end of the month?”

He also cautioned that state police must not be weaponised by governors against political opponents, a fear echoed by several critics.

Former Kaduna senator, Shehu Sani, also voiced skepticism, warning that those calling for state police may regret the move:

“When the President finally approves the state police, you will know the difference between the Federal and the State Police. Enjoy the buffet,” he quipped.

Anthony Sani, former ACF Secretary General, outrightly opposed the plan, arguing that unless new forces are properly funded, trained, and motivated, they will be no more effective than the current federal structure.

The push for state police is evidence of the desperation of leaders seeking fresh solutions to banditry, insurgency, and communal clashes that have devastated northern Nigeria. But the sharp divisions over funding, political misuse, and operational structure underscore the challenges ahead.

With both the presidency and the NSGF aligned, the matter now lies with the National Assembly, which must undertake the constitutional amendments needed to make state policing a reality.
