Trying to understand how Stalking is used for Lease Termination

[Bob Ster]

We have a rental in a solidly middle class neighborhood, but there are incidents throughout the neighborhood of vandalism and quick-grab thefts and breakage of vehicles. Our tenant is filing police reports and saying they intend to terminate the lease as soon as they identify a suspect from video.

The Stalking law in Texas provides for violent assaults, sexual assaults and property destruction. The TX Property Code requires documentation via police reports in addition to documentation of stalking from a provider of medical health services, mental health services, or other authorized provider of services. Assuming my tenant is providing police reports, can they just go to a psychologist to get a letter stating the psychologist believes the person is being targeted or stalked even without a suspect? 

If anyone has looked at this aspect of the property code and speak to it, it would be much appreciated.

Seems that with your first 2 posts here on BP you are having problems on both sides of the aisle so to speak. You have started another thread where you are a tenant having issues and want to find a way to terminate and here you have a tenant wanting to terminate.  

My understanding is the Stalking law requires only the documentation you stated and does not require a suspect to be identified
