Abstract

This research paper aims to investigate the level of satisfaction of landlords with the tenancy and usage of rented properties by tenants in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study focuses on understanding the factors that influence landlord satisfaction and the potential areas of improvement within the tenant-landlord relationship. Through comprehensive field research employing quantitative primary data collection, this research attempts to shed light on the state of landlord-tenant dynamics within the region. Empirical data through structured questionnaires and interviews were used in this research paper to adequately contribute to the understanding of the challenges faced by landlords and tenants in maintaining a harmonious rental relationship, thereby providing insights for policy reforms and best practices. The recommendations projected from the analysis of data obtained in this research pinpoints common areas of disagreement and breaches while suggesting possible compromise and adherences that can foster a higher level of satisfaction of landlords with tenancy and tenants’ usage of rented/leased properties in the selected region.
