BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 92, Property Code, is | ||
amended by adding Section 92.026 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 92.026. NOTICE OF RENT INCREASES. (a) A landlord | ||
shall provide written notice to a tenant if the landlord proposes on | ||
renewal of the tenant's lease to increase the rent the landlord | ||
charges the tenant on the date of the notice. | ||
(b) The landlord shall provide the notice required by | ||
Subsection (a) not later than the 14th day before the date the | ||
tenant is required to provide notice to vacate at the end of the | ||
lease term or renewal period. | ||
(c) A landlord who fails to give notice as required by this | ||
section is liable to the tenant for any expense incurred by the | ||
tenant as a result of the landlord's failure to give the notice. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 92.026, Property Code, as added by this | ||
Act, applies only to a lease entered into or renewed on or after the | ||
effective date of this Act. A lease entered into or renewed before | ||
the effective date of this Act is governed by the law as it existed | ||
immediately before the effective date of this Act, and that law is | ||
continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
