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.
Examples of items that materially affect the health and safety of an ordinary tenant are sewage backups, roaches, rats, no hot water, faulty wiring, roof leaks, and, sometimes, a lack of heat or air conditioning.
These co-owners hold an undivided interest and right to possess the property. Each party may freely sell, devise, lease, or otherwise transfer their interest in the property. When a party dies their share of the property will pass via their will or, if the party died without a will, ing to the intestacy statute.
As stated above, a life tenant has the right to occupy and use the property during their lifetime or alternatively until the life estate is terminated by the life tenant. A life tenant can also sell their interest, but they cannot sell any greater interest than that which ceases upon the life tenant's life.
Your rights as a tenant include the right to "quiet enjoyment," a legal term. This means your landlord cannot evict you without cause or otherwise disturb your right to live in peace and quiet. If other tenants in your building are disturbing you, you should complain to the landlord.
