Lease Termination Dispute Resolution
Summary
In Texas, lease termination disputes require careful attention to the Texas Property Code Chapter 92, which outlines tenant rights and notice requirements. If a landlord does not honor a signed notice, tenants should emphasize the signed agreement, document all communications, and consider mediation or legal advice. The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act may apply if the landlords actions are misleading. Tenants should review their lease agreements, maintain written records, and gather supporting documents like signed notices. Consulting the Texas Property Code and seeking legal counsel can provide further guidance.Full Conversation

Notice to vacate was submitted */*/*. Lesse agreement says it must be submitted 60 days prior. I called the office to explain the situation and was told the 30 day notice was approved. They sent me the notice for me to sign rhay reflects the lease end date. Now they are trying to change that and make me liable for an extra month

- Review your lease and any written communication with the landlord.
- Check if there was any written confirmation of the *-day approval.
- Document all communication with your landlord.
Have you received any written confirmation regarding the approval of the *-day notice?
- Review your lease and any written communication with the landlord.
- Check if there was any written confirmation of the *-day approval.
- Document all communication with your landlord.
Have you received any written confirmation regarding the approval of the *-day notice?
The notice to vacate the landlord sent me shows the lease end date (*/*/*)as the official move out date, and it was signed by all tenants.
It sounds like the written notice you received confirms the lease end date as */*/*, signed by all tenants. If your landlord is trying to change this agreement, you might want to:
- Reference the signed notice and lease agreement.
- Keep all written communications for records.
- Consider sending a formal letter detailing the situation and agreement terms.
