This paper is an analysis of issues which are relevant to the challenges in residential property
leases in Borno state, a particular interest in Maiduguri metropolis. Data were obtained from
literature sources and complimented with structured interviews with landlords and tenants of
residential properties in five major streets of the metropolis. Houses were selected randomly in
each of these wards, from where a purposive sampling was used in selecting the subjects for the
study. The data obtained were duly analysed descriptively. The study revealed the following
challenges: that landlords dictate the terms and conditions of the lease and tenants are left with
the choice of either accepting or rejecting the terms; that after collecting the rent, landlords
never care to check the premises for necessary repairs till the rent is again due; tenants who
have been given quit notices by a landlords to claim that from the time the quit notice is served,
they will cease to pay rent any longer. It was recommended that formation of tenant/landlord is a
useful means of negotiating with the government on issues of rent, taxes and rates concerning
their properties; and that function as pressure group for promoting and enhancing the legal
rights and protections provided under the law to tenants. MALA ALI MODU, BABA SANDA IBRAHIM, GARBA ABBA HABIB
