Frequently asked questions

How much notice is required for a rent increase in Texas?

Texas has no statewide rent control, and cities may not regulate rents except in a disaster with the governor's approval (Tex. Loc. Gov't Code § 214.902). For a month-to-month tenancy, the new rent may take effect only after at least one month's written notice (Tex. Prop. Code § 91.001).

Can a landlord raise rent in the middle of a lease?

Generally no. During a fixed-term lease the rent can change only if the lease allows it. For a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord can raise rent with the advance written notice the law requires.
