For renters
Demand the return of your security deposit. Texas landlords must return it within 30 days of move-out, and bad-faith retention carries steep statutory penalties.
Legal advice recommended before use.
Put a repair request in writing to start the clock on your landlord's legal duty to repair health- and safety-affecting conditions.
Legal advice recommended before use.
A private agreement between roommates covering the rent split, deposit share, house rules, and what happens if someone leaves early — separate from your lease with the landlord.
Legal advice recommended before use.
Renting your unit to a subtenant while you remain on the original lease? Put the terms in writing — you stay responsible to your landlord either way.
Legal advice recommended before use.
Tell your landlord in writing that you're moving out — the notice that starts your move-out process cleanly and puts your forwarding address on record.
Legal advice recommended before use.
The written notice Texas Property Code §92.016/§92.0161 requires to terminate your lease early and avoid future rent as a victim of family violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Legal advice recommended before use.
Your first repair request went unanswered. This second, firmer notice starts the certified-mail clock Texas law requires before repair-and-deduct or court action.
Legal advice recommended before use.
Create a dated, written record of a landlord's pattern of neglect, unannounced entries, or retaliatory conduct — the paper trail Texas retaliation law and a Justice of the Peace court both look for.
Legal advice recommended before use.
For landlords
A simple, signed rent receipt for any payment — especially cash — so both landlord and tenant have a dated record.
Legal advice recommended before use.
Return a tenant's deposit with the itemized statement Texas law requires within 30 days of move-out.
Legal advice recommended before use.
The written notice to vacate Texas requires before filing an eviction suit — 3 days is the statewide default, but check the lease first.
Legal advice recommended before use.
A Texas guaranty for a Dallas-Fort Worth lease — where a third party agrees to cover the tenant's obligations, limited by statute to the original lease term unless the guaranty says otherwise.
Legal advice recommended before use.
A free, fillable Dallas-Fort Worth / Texas residential lease agreement. Enter your terms, sign online, download a PDF — deposit, late-fee, repair, flood-history, and parking disclosures built in.
Legal advice recommended before use.
A simple month-to-month tenancy agreement, with the notice-to-end rule Texas law requires for periodic tenancies.
Legal advice recommended before use.
Document unit condition at move-in and move-out — the clearest evidence for a fair, defensible security-deposit deduction under Texas law.
Legal advice recommended before use.
The written flood-history and floodplain disclosure Texas law requires before or at lease signing (Tex. Prop. Code § 92.0135).
Legal advice recommended before use.
A signed letter certifying how much rent a tenant paid over a period — for tax prep, benefits applications, or a visa/immigration file. Texas has no official "certificate of rent" form, so this is the standard substitute.
Legal advice recommended before use.
Add pet permission to an existing lease, with clear pet fee/deposit terms — labeled correctly so both sides know whether it's refundable.
Legal advice recommended before use.
Formally confirm in writing that a lease guarantor's obligation has ended — useful at lease renewal or once a guaranty's original term expires.
Legal advice recommended before use.
