As a tenant in Texas, you have certain legal rights that are protected by state and federal law. Under the Texas Property Code, landlords must provide safe and habitable living conditions for tenants in all residential rental agreements. This means that your landlord is not allowed to withhold basic necessities such as heat or electricity, nor can they fail to make necessary repairs to keep the property livable. Additionally, your landlord cannot take away any of your personal belongings without giving you adequate notice; this includes evicting you from the premises without proper cause or warning. You also have privacy rights when it comes to visits from potential buyers or landlords; if you receive advance written notice of such an event then it must be scheduled at a mutually agreed upon time with reasonable hours for both parties. Lastly, there are limits on how much rent may be charged each month; landlords are required to register their properties with their local municipality before setting rent prices above what is legally allowed. All these legal protections help ensure that tenants in Texas enjoy peace of mind knowing their rights as renters will always be respected and upheld.
