Texas HB5073 mandates landlords to provide tenants with a detailed accounting statement upon request.

Texas HB5073 amends the Property Code to require landlords to furnish tenants with an accounting statement within three business days of a written request. The statement must detail the rent owed, any outstanding balance, descriptions of charges, references to lease provisions, and the number of remaining lease payments. Landlords can provide the statement in paper, electronic, or email format, if previously agreed upon. Failure to comply allows tenants or their representatives to sue for damages, including court costs, attorney's fees, and either one month's rent or $500 per violation.
