Day Notice To Vacate Texas: Fill & Download for Free

This actually happened to us while we were trying to sell our house in Texas. We found out people, who we did not know, were living in our vacant house while we waited for the house to close! We went straight to the police who went and talked to the people in the house. It turned out that the broker who was selling our house had written up a “lease” document with these people and FORGED our names on it so the people thought they had the right to be there and we had no idea (we had moved out of state while our house was in the process of being sold). The police offered to evict them when we proved the lease was forged (the idiot broker forged my husband’s first name and the “renter’s” last name), but as it turned out they were the people in the process of buying the house! The “lease” stated that they were paying a daily amount to live in the house before closing and the broker swore we would get that money at closing. We didn’t. They also tried to make us pay for repairs to the house where the “renter’s” dog had done damage. We refused and the broker ended up paying. We reported the broker to the Texas Real Estate Commission board for his illegal activities and they took YEARS to make a determination and then it was just a slap on the wrist. They determined his actions were illegal and unethical and he shouldn’t do it again. *eye roll* He did, several times, and eventually lost his broker’s license. Then his wife got her broker’s license and they were back in business.My first stop would be to the police. They can find out why these people are in your house and what makes them think they have the right to be there. Where you go from there depends on the answers to those questions. In Texas, in 2005, they would have given them 3 days to vacate the premises and then they would have evicted them.

No counties in Texas have rent control or stabilization laws on the books, so landlords can increase the rent by any amount once your lease expires.All states have laws that generally prioritize the interests of the tenant over the rights of the owner, to varying degrees, but Texas is one of the states that is the least hostile to landlords. Louisiana isn’t bad either, but when I wanted to invest in some properties in other markets I chose Texas precisely because they don’t restrict my rights as a landlord too much. Other states like California and New York have (in some areas) rent control laws that both limit rent increases to a low percentage and make it much more difficult to evict.In some Californian counties the advice you overheard would be correct, as a landlord cannot raise rent more than 3, 4, or 5 percent when you renew your lease. Places like that may also give tenants the right to have their lease renewed if they agree to the increase, whereas a landlord in Texas has no obligation to offer you the chance to renew.As a Texas tenant you will be renting on a month-to-month basis once your lease expires, unless it is renewed, you give notice, or your landlord evicts you. You can leave anytime after the lease ends, though you must provide a 30 day notice. The same goes for your landlord who could give you a notice to vacate within 30 days, without cause. If you want the protections of a fixed term lease you will need to agree to the increased rent, but if you refuse, your landlord will almost certainly decline to keep you on a monthly basis and evict you in order to make room for a tenant who will pay the full rent.

First of all it is 30 day notice, so check up on that.A Texas lease termination letter (“Notice to Vacate”) is a required document to end month-to-month lease agreements in Texas. State law requires giving at least 30 days notice for termination. However, state law does not require notice to be given to end fixed term lease agreements on their end date.
