If you are a tenant in Texas and you do not give your landlord the required 60 days’ notice before vacating the property, then you may be liable for damages. The Texas Residential Lease Agreement states that tenants must provide written notice at least sixty (60) days prior to their lease expiration date if they intend to terminate a month-to-month tenancy or move out of the rental unit. This requirement is set by law so that landlords have sufficient time to find another tenant or otherwise make other arrangements for their property. If tenants fail to comply with this obligation, landlords can pursue legal action against them, including collecting unpaid rent and/or filing an eviction lawsuit. Furthermore, tenants may also be responsible for covering any costs associated with finding new renters such as advertising fees and lost rental income due to vacancies caused by late notices. In some cases, courts may even order a tenant who did not give proper notice pay double rent until a new occupant is found. Therefore it is important for all tenants in Texas to fulfill their obligations under their lease agreement and provide timely written notification when terminating their tenancy so as avoid any liability issues down the line.
