    The ability to sustain a tenancy is a key factor in maintaining stability for both individuals and families and the costs to those suffering tenancy failures encompass the whole of their lives. This study examined tenancy failure in the residential property market of Ilorin metropolis, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research approach using structured questionnaires as instrument of data collection. Primary data were mainly employed and sourced from the sampled tenants within the metropolis. The data collected were analysed using mean scores and percentage; Cronbach Alpha, Factor Analysis and Relative Important Index. The study revealed, among others, that greater numbers of tenants in the study area have experienced tenancy failure at least once. The major causes of tenancy failure in the study area include breach of tenancy agreement, moving to own house, discrimination, and insecurity. The study also found that homelessness, loss of rent to landlord, and high cost of resettlement were the major consequences of tenancy failure in the study area. The study recommended, among others, that the identified causes and consequences of tenancy failure in this study should be given proper attention by the landlords, government, property managers in their decisionsmaking processes.
