FAQ
Rent Increases There is not a statewide law that places limits on how much a landlord can increase the rent when a lease is renewed. In fact, Texas law only allows cities to establish local rent control ordinances in certain cases.
Landlord-Tenant / Evictions: Effective April 1, 2024, no-fault evictions under the State Tenant Protection Act (“TPA”) will be further restricted for: (1) owner move-in evictions, and (2) evictions based on substantial remodeling.
Does Texas require 3x rent? Many landlords ask that your monthly income be at least three times the rent. It's not law, but it's common practice.
Time Frame: The notice period typically ranges from 3 to 30 days, depending on the reason for eviction and the terms of the lease agreement. For instance, a 3-day notice is common for non-payment of rent, while a 30-day notice may be required for other lease violations or month-to-month tenancies.
Tenant Rights in Texas ensure that renters have a foundation of protections under state law, which includes the right to a safe and secure living environment, protections against unfair eviction, the ability to negotiate lease terms, and the right to have their security deposits returned with lawful deductions.

Filing a Complaint: You can file a complaint with the local housing authority or the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Seeking a Court Order: You may be able to petition the court for an order requiring the landlord to make the repairs.
Write a clear and concise letter to your landlord, describing the problem and its impact on your living situation. Provide a reasonable timeline for the repairs to be completed. Keep a copy of the letter for your records and follow up if necessary.
