Please help good people! I completed my late mother's property in Ajah last year (she died before completion),I have other documents except for
building permit ( and what else might be required by Lagos state - I do not live in Nigeria).
I was called today that some government officials attended the property asking for building papers.
How do I go about this? I have no clue on where to start,please somebody help me out for the sake of GOD.

Thank you all for your inputs. To answer the question as to fixed/periodic tenancy, the agreement the previous lawyer gave to him states that the tenancy will be for the period of Jan 1st 2011 to Dec 31st 2011. He paid for that year,( and mind you he actually moved into the property in December 2010 and pleaded with me to let the rent start in January 2011 , which out of the goodness of my heart, I obliged to). He also paid for Jan - Dec 2012 through the new management company, but they did not issue him a new contract as far as I know, because the rep from the company told me that agreement he has then, though it states for a period of one year, was still valid to continue into the next year.

Now, the problem started when Mr K was informed last year that his rent, as agreed two years previous will be going up from Jan 2013. He's been telling stories and tales since then, and hasn't come up with the rent for Jan 1st - Dec 31st,2013.

The rep from the management company has informed me that they have issued him a notice to quit back in May which will expire in November.(6months)
I am a bit confused now, from the comments from you all, which time limit does the law say he should be given? Please bear with me if my question seem silly, I'm new to all this property mine-field, and already I'm beginning to ask myself what did I get myself into.

Thank you all for your contributions.

Good people, I'm new to this site and I need good advise on how to go about recovering outstanding rent from this family. Mr K rented a 3bed(en suite) duplex from me through my (greedy) lawyer in 2011, property is in Ajah area and rent was 1.1m per year for two years after which the rent will increase in the third year. Mr K said no problem, that his international employer pays his rent ( a claim that my then greedy lawyer did not verify,as I later found that she was only after her own commission). I parted business with the lawyer when I realise she was not looking after my interest, and gave management of the property to one of the biggest property management companies in the land (don't know if I'm allowed to mention their name here) but they honestly, have been so unprofessional its laughable. Mr K is still to pay for this year, he told the company in January that the EFCC are "investigating" his company because of some large amount of money that was transferred into Nigeria, then months later that he's going to issue a private cheque to pay his rent. This is August and I'm still waiting, I live abroad and its so frustrating that this so called reputable management company don't seem to be doing their job or am I been naive in thinking things should work the same in Nigeria as most other countries?
This said management company on many occasions gets my name/address wrong in letters to the tenant,and will not update me on progress of matter unless I call them. What do I do now, please, please help.
