Bill Summary
Relating to pet deposits or fees collected by landlords.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Texas Property Code to limit the pet deposits or fees that landlords can charge tenants. Specifically, if a lease allows a tenant to have a pet, the landlord can only collect either a one-time refundable pet deposit at the start of the lease or a monthly pet fee not exceeding $20, but not both. The new provisions apply only to leases entered into or renewed on or after the effective date of September 1, 2023, while existing leases are governed by the previous law.
