FAQ
Myth: There is a limitation on the amount the rent can be raised at the end of the lease. Truth: Texas has no rent control laws that limit the amount of rent increases.
But remember: if you have a fixed-term lease, your landlord can't increase the rent until your lease expires. If you're on a month-to-month lease, then your landlord can increase your rent any time (as long as they give you 30 days' notice).

Can my landlord increase my rent now that the public health emergency has ended? No. Rent increases cannot occur until after December 31, 2021. Landlords must provide a minimum of a 30-day notice before a rent increase can occur, so higher rent cannot be charged until February 2022.
As there are no rent stabilization or rent control laws in Texas, landlords can raise the rent by as much as they wish. That said, if you have signed a fixed-term lease with your tenant, then you'll need to wait for the existing lease to expire before you can adjust the rent price.
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.
