Texas Notice of Non-Renewal

This Notice of Non-Renewal is built with Texas as the governing state. These are the Texas landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Texas rules at a glance

Texas rules for a Notice of Non-Renewal
Month-to-month terminationOne month’s notice unless the lease sets a different periodTex. Prop. Code §91.001
Rent-increase noticeNo statute; month-to-month changes need one rental period’s notice in practiceTex. Prop. Code §91.001
Rent controlBarred except in a governor-approved disaster emergencyTex. Loc. Gov’t Code §214.902
Rent increasesTexas has no rent-increase notice statute. A fixed-term lease can’t be changed mid-term without the tenant’s agreement; for a month-to-month tenancy, an increase is effectively an offer of new terms, so landlords give at least the one rental period required to end the tenancy (§91.001).

Rent, late fees & returned payments

Texas is one of the few states with a precise late-fee statute. A late fee is only collectible if notice of it is in a written lease, it is reasonable, and rent has remained unpaid two full days after the due date (§92.019(a)).

  • Safe-harbor cap — A fee is presumed reasonable if it doesn’t exceed 12% of one month’s rent for a dwelling in a structure with four or fewer units, or 10% for a structure with more than four. A higher fee must be justified by the landlord’s actual uncertain damages (§92.019(a-1)).
  • Initial + daily fees — A lease may combine an initial fee with a daily fee, but the two together count as a single late fee against the cap (§92.019(b)).
  • Penalty — An unlawful late fee costs the landlord $100, three times the fee collected, and the tenant’s attorney’s fees; any lease waiver of these rules is void (§92.019(c)–(d)).
  • Returned payments — The processing fee for a dishonored check or electronic payment is capped at $30 (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §3.506).
  • Cash rent — A landlord must accept cash unless the written lease requires another method, and must give a written receipt for cash (§92.011).
  • Rent increases — Texas has no rent-increase notice statute. A fixed-term lease can’t be changed mid-term without the tenant’s agreement; for a month-to-month tenancy, an increase is effectively an offer of new terms, so landlords give at least the one rental period required to end the tenancy (§91.001).

Texas Notice of Non-Renewal FAQs

How much notice is required to end a month-to-month lease in Texas?

At least one month from either side; the tenancy ends on the later of the date in the notice or one month after it’s given. The parties can agree in a signed lease to a different notice period (§91.001).
