A Tenancy Agreement is the contract between a landlord (or managing agent) and a tenant that sets out the rent, the term, and the rules for living in a property. This apartment tenancy agreement template is built for facility-managed apartments; the kind that charge an annual rent, a yearly service charge for estate upkeep, and a refundable caution fee; and it's ready to generate, download and sign online.

Just answer a few simple questions; who the landlord and tenant are, the apartment's description and address, the term dates, and the rent, service charge and caution fee; and your personalized Tenancy Agreement is generated instantly, ready to download as PDF or Word.

Built for how Nigerian apartments are actually let

This template mirrors the real-world structure landlords and agents in Abuja, Lagos, Enugu and across Nigeria use every day:

Annual rent, payable in advance; the standard "pay a year up front" arrangement.
A separate non-refundable service charge covering facility management (property manager, common-area cleaning, grounds and landscaping).
A refundable caution fee returned at the end of the tenancy, less the cost of restoring the apartment.
A fixtures inventory (walls, tiles, wardrobes, door locks, windows, electrical and plumbing fittings, water heaters) that both parties confirm at move-in, so the caution fee is applied fairly at move-out.

What this tenancy agreement includes

A preparer / solicitor block on the cover, so the drafting firm or agent is on record
A full rent and payment section (rent, itemized service charge, refundable caution fee)
Detailed Tenant's covenants; repairs, utilities, no subletting or unauthorized alterations, permitted use, nuisance, refuse, vacant possession and more
Landlord's covenants; quiet enjoyment, major structural repairs, and a secure living environment
A Default and Termination section; a late-payment penalty, a re-entry right for unpaid rent, and a notice-based termination option
General provisions covering re-entry/forfeiture, a renewal option, service of notices (including WhatsApp/electronic notice), rent review, and the move-out fixtures check
A signing block with witness lines for both the landlord and the tenant
