Texas HB230 amends landlord liability for casualty losses caused by their negligence or fault.
Texas HB230 amends the Property Code to address landlord liability for casualty losses caused by their negligence or fault. If a rental property becomes unusable due to such a loss, the landlord must either allow the tenant to move to another property they own or locate comparable rental premises. If no comparable premises are available, the landlord must compensate the tenant for the difference in rent. This applies to leases entered into or renewed after the bill's effective date.
