Relating to an action to remedy certain conditions affecting safety or habitability of certain residential rental property; providing a civil penalty.

SB 2524 creates a new chapter in Texas property law requiring landlords in unincorporated areas of counties with over one million residents to maintain rental properties in safe and habitable conditions. It prohibits specific hazards like missing working appliances, pest infestations, mold, unsafe structural elements, or lack of basic utilities (water, heat, electricity). Before legal action, district or county attorneys must first send landlords written notice detailing required repairs. Violations may result in civil penalties, aiming to improve tenant safety without specifying exact penalty amounts in the provided text.
