Texas SB759 mandates landlords to disclose certain fees to tenants before signing a lease.

Texas SB759 amends the Property Code to require landlords to disclose any fixed, recurring fees other than rent to tenants before a lease is signed. This disclosure must occur before the tenant signs the lease, and it can be made in the written lease or an amendment. If a fee is not disclosed as required, the tenant is not obligated to pay it. The bill also clarifies that it does not limit landlords and tenants from agreeing on recurring fees for goods or services during the lease term.
