Rent Resources - ARPOLA

American Rental Property & Landlords Association

Lease Clause Texas

Back to Resources>>

Texas rental property owners, landlords and property managers need to use rental agreements and legal notices to follow the Texas landlord tenant laws. A free, state-specific Texas lease is included in your ARPOLA membership along with the Texas legal notices and forms you will use most often. Should you decide to use a different lease, listed below are terms and conditions you should include to help you meet the minimum requirements.

NOTICE TO CHANGE OR TERMINATE A MONTH TO MONTH TENANCY:

One month. Landlord and tenant can jointly agree in writing upon different terms or none at all

SECURITY DEPOSIT LIMIT:

No statutory limit

NOTICE PERIOD FOR TERMINATION FOR NONPAYMENT:

3 days’ notice to move unless the lease specifies a shorter or longer time

NOTICE PERIOD FOR TERMINATION FOR LEASE VIOLATION:

Landlord can terminate with an Unconditional Quit notice

NOTICE FOR UNCONDITIONAL QUIT:

3 days for nonpayment of rent or holdover

LATE CHARGES:

Late fee provision must be in written lease and cannot be imposed until the rent remains unpaid for one full day after it is due. May charge an initial fee and daily fee for each day late, but must be a reasonable estimate of damages or a precise calculation

Information current as of 02/2012

  3. Save time. No need to search for the best lease at a low price. Join ARPOLA and have complete access to leases for all 50 states that can be edited in Word.
  4. Join and renew once per year. No need to pay for any leases or per use. Download any lease in any state–it’s included in your membership dues.
