Texas HB2748 establishes a pilot program to disburse payments to residential landlords when tenants terminate leases due to family violence, certain.

HB2748 amends the Texas Property Code to create a pilot program administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. The program disburses a payment to landlords equal to one month's rent when tenants terminate leases early due to family violence, certain sex offenses, or stalking. The Department must adopt rules governing the program, including data collection on the number of participating landlords, total disbursements, and geographic trends. Landlords can apply to participate, and the Department can accept gifts, grants, or donations to finance the program.
