Texas Landlord And Tenant Law Attorney For Property Rights Protection
Rental agreements shape your daily life and financial stability. A sudden disagreement can quickly disrupt your security and cause immense stress.
Whether you are a resident with a dubious property owner or a landlord managing several properties, The Law Office of Eric R. Little offers the support you need. My name is Eric R. Little. As an attorney, I understand the emotional and financial strain of rental disputes. I have has 25 years of legal experience as a landlord-tenant attorney. I draw from this experience to fight tenaciously for desirable results for individuals and business owners in the Galveston area.
What Can You Do If Your Tenant Stopped Paying Rent?
You must follow the strict legal eviction process to regain control of your property. Texas Property Code Section 24.005 requires landlords to deliver a written notice to vacate before filing an eviction suit. A knowledgeable landlord-tenant lawyer can draft this notice properly to prevent costly delays in justice court. I can also help small landlords file appeals if a tenant challenges the initial court ruling. I handle residential leasing challenges with efficiency to protect your rental income.
What Are Your Legal Options If Your Long-Term Tenant Just Listed The House On Airbnb?
Unapproved subleasing violates standard Texas lease agreements and creates serious liability issues. Texas Property Code Section 91.005 strictly prohibits a tenant from subleasing the property without prior consent from the landlord. If your tenant lists your home on a short-term rental platform without permission, you have the legal right to terminate the lease. An eviction attorney can help you enforce your contract terms. I can provide homeowner representation to protect your investment from unauthorized use and commercial leasing activities that violate local neighborhood rules.
How Can You Get Your Deposit If Your Landlord Refuses To Give It Back?
You should keep meticulous records of your move-out condition and provide a written forwarding address. Texas Property Code Section 92.103 requires landlords to return your security deposit within 30 days after you surrender the premises. If a landlord wrongfully withholds your funds, a skilled lease dispute lawyer can demand the money you deserve. Under Texas real estate law, bad faith retention can make the landlord liable for three times the withheld amount plus legal fees. At me firm, I hold landlords accountable for their withholding of deposits or failure to make necessary repairs.
