Rent Receipt in Nigeria: What It Must Contain to Be Legally Valid
A receipt is your only proof of payment. Here's what a legally valid Nigerian rent receipt must contain — and what to do if your landlord won't provide one.
A receipt should show: tenant name, landlord name, property address, amount in figures and words, period covered, date, and signature.
Without receipt, proving payment in disputes is harder. Request receipt before leaving payment meeting.
