Background of the Study
Security concerns play a critical role in shaping the real estate market, particularly in regions like Maiduguri, Borno State, where issues such as insurgency and local violence have significantly impacted property leasing trends. Commercial real estate in Maiduguri has faced declining demand and challenges in terms of occupancy rates, as security considerations have become a top priority for potential lessees (Aliyu & Ahmed, 2024).
Security concerns, including the safety of businesses, employees, and physical assets, have prompted commercial tenants to reconsider leasing properties in high-risk areas. As a result, property owners are forced to adjust their leasing terms, offering enhanced security measures or lowering rents to attract tenants. However, the effectiveness of these security measures and their influence on lease agreements in Maiduguri remain underexplored. This study aims to examine the role of security considerations in commercial real estate leasing in Maiduguri, focusing on how security concerns influence leasing decisions, property values, and the broader real estate market in the region.
Statement of the Problem
Maiduguri, Borno State, has faced severe security challenges in recent years, which have affected various sectors, including commercial real estate. Security concerns have resulted in decreased demand for commercial spaces, affecting rental rates and occupancy levels. The impact of these security considerations on commercial leasing practices has not been adequately examined. This study aims to explore how security issues influence commercial real estate leasing in Maiduguri, focusing on the perspectives of both property owners and tenants.
