Renting tips
What I wish every renter knew
Tour before you pay
Never send a deposit for a home you haven't seen or verified. Rental scams copy real listings. When in doubt, call the listing company directly.
Document move-in
Take dated photos of every room, and turn in your move-in condition form. It protects your deposit when you move out.
Get renter's insurance
The owner's policy doesn't cover your belongings. A renter's policy usually costs about as much as a streaming subscription.
Ask about utilities
Ask what you'll be responsible for. Summer electric bills here can be a big part of your monthly cost.
Military? Ask about the clause
Texas law lets service members end a lease early for PCS or deployment orders. Make sure you understand how it works before you sign.
Put requests in writing
Submit repairs through the portal or in writing. It creates a record and starts the clock on the landlord's response.
Texas tenant basics
Know your rights
A quick summary of Texas Property Code Chapter 92. This is general information, not legal advice. Your lease and the statute control.
When do I get my security deposit back?
The landlord must refund the deposit, or send an itemized list of deductions, within 30 days after you surrender the property. You must give a written forwarding address. Deductions can't be taken for normal wear and tear.
What if something needs to be repaired?
For conditions that materially affect health or safety, notify the landlord (in writing is best) while you're current on rent. The landlord must make a diligent effort to repair within a reasonable time. Texas has specific steps before a tenant can use remedies, so don't withhold rent on your own.
Do the locks get changed between tenants?
Yes. Security devices must be rekeyed within 7 days after each tenant turnover, and homes must have required locks, door viewers and working smoke alarms.
Can I break my lease?
Some situations are protected by statute, including certain military orders and family violence. Otherwise, early termination depends on your lease terms, so read that section before you sign.
