Relating to a pilot program to disburse payments to residential landlords when tenants terminate leases following family violence, certain sex offenses, or stalking.

HB 2748 establishes a pilot program administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to pay residential landlords one month's rent when tenants terminate leases early due to family violence, certain sex offenses, or stalking. Landlords can apply for this payment if tenants vacate before lease end under specific safety-related circumstances outlined in the Property Code. The program runs until September 2029, requires department rules for implementation, and protects tenant confidentiality. The department must report on participation and disbursements by January 2029, including geographic trends and total payments.
