Primary HB 798

In committee · Texas House · Lead sponsor

Relating to certain rights and duties of residential tenants and landlords; increasing the amount of civil penalties.

Maddy summaryHB 798 modifies Texas landlord-tenant law by extending notice periods for nonpayment of rent. It requires landlords to give residential tenants 10 days to pay overdue rent before issuing a "notice to vacate," followed by a 14-day notice period before filing an eviction lawsuit. The bill mandates specific warning language in notices, clarifying that the notice is not an eviction order and informing tenants of free legal assistance resources. It also adds a new provision (Section 24.00605) allowing tenants to pay all rent, court costs, and fees to reinstate their lease before a court-issued possession order takes effect. These changes directly affect residential tenants and landlords in Texas rental agreements.

HousingSupports HousingExtends tenant notice periods (10+14 days) before eviction, strengthening tenant protections under landlord-tenant law per bill's notice period requirements and tenant resource provisions.92% confidence
