How it works

From question to authority.

No search terms to guess. Ask the way you would ask a senior colleague.

  1. 01

    Ask it like a colleague

    Describe the point you need, the facts that matter, or the principle you half-remember.
    Counsel
    Can a landlord in Lagos put out a yearly tenant without a written notice to quit?

  2. 02

    It searches the law that applies

    Counsel looks through its library of Nigerian statutes and rules of court, and the case law behind the question.

    Counsel

    No. Under the Tenancy Law of Lagos State 2011, a yearly tenant is entitled to six months' written notice to quit, unless the tenancy agreement provides otherwise.

    When the notice expires, the landlord must still serve notice of intention to recover possession before going to court.

    Take it straight into the work

    Research and drafting are the same conversation, so the answer can become the notice, the letter or the address.
    Counsel
    Good. Now draft the notice to quit for my client, the landlord.

    Counsel

    Drafting the notice to quit — it will open in the Draft pane.

    Notice to quit

    To: the tenant in occupation of the premises

    TAKE NOTICE that you are required to quit and deliver up possession of the premises you hold of me as a yearly tenant, on or before the expiration of six months from the service of this notice.

Questions

Questions lawyers ask first.

Does it invent cases?
Every authority is named in full so you can check it before you rely on it. Treat the answer as you would a careful junior's research note: verify, then use.
Which laws does it cover?
A growing library of Nigerian statutes, rules of court and the Constitution, searched alongside the case law relevant to your question.
Can the research go into a draft?
Yes. Research and drafting are one conversation, so you can ask for the document as soon as you have the answer.
Are my questions used to train AI?
No. We don't use your content to train AI models, and it's encrypted in transit and at rest.

Ask the question you would ask a senior.
