Texas Landlord Notice Requirements

Summary

In Texas, landlords must give at least one months written notice for tenants to vacate if they do not agree on renewal terms. If a landlord provides only 11 days notice, it may not be legal. Tenants can verify this by checking Texas Property Code Section 91.001. If the lease ends and the landlord refuses rent, eviction can proceed. Communicate with your landlord or seek legal advice for further assistance.
