Texas Landlord-Tenant Laws
Texas Security deposits
Texas places no cap on how much a landlord can charge as a security deposit, but the return rules have real teeth: the deposit (less lawful, itemized deductions — never normal wear and tear) is due within 30 days of surrender, once the tenant has provided a written forwarding address.
Texas Rent increase notice
Texas has no statute requiring a specific notice period for rent increases; for month-to-month tenancies the practical rule comes from the termination statute — a month-to-month tenancy can be ended with a month's notice, so an increase is effectively a month's-notice proposition the tenant can accept or leave on.
Texas Late fees
Texas allows a residential late fee only if it is in the written lease and rent has remained unpaid for two full days after the due date — rent due on the 1st cannot draw a fee before the 4th.
Texas Entry notice
Texas has no statute requiring landlords to give advance notice before entering a rental unit — entry rights come entirely from the lease.
