Abstract
This paper examined the effect of waste dump site on rental values of residential properties in Tayi community in Minna, Niger State. Two sets of structured questionnaires were administered to property occupiers (Landlords and Tenants) and Estate Surveyors and valuers firms in Minna. Two hundred (200) from the residents and ten (10) from the estate surveyors and valuers. The research questions were analyzed with simple frequency and frequency table while a 5 point likert scale were used to examined effect of factors on rental values. The study has established that proximity to dump site (Abattoir) in the community have a significant negative effect on the rental values of residential properties as a result of the liquid waste disposed without proper management thereby creating air pollution in the study area which posed a serious health threat to the occupant in the community and Estate Surveyor and Valuer should advise their clients and dangers of living or locating their properties in close proximity to any dumpsite location. The Government should also create awareness programme for residents in these areas on its health implications of such locations and or provide a better way of managing the waste produced the study area.
