Understanding landlord and tenant responsibilities is essential for a smooth lease transaction. While real estate agents are not licensed to provide legal advice, we want to equip our clients and agents with reliable, accessible information. This page includes two valuable resources: the full Texas Property Code Chapter 92, which outlines residential lease rights and obligations, and the Residential Property Management Resource. If you need professional management services or legal guidance beyond the transaction, we’re happy to refer you to Lucas Chaya del Pino, a trusted property manager and REALTOR® with CHL Property Management.

From legal lease requirements to property maintenance obligations and tenant protections, both the Texas Property Code Chapter 92 and the Residential Property Management Resource provide the critical foundation you need to stay compliant and informed.
