Multiple Tenant Lease Arrangements

[David Y M.]

Hi All,

This is lease related, but can there be two Master leases on one SFH in Dallas/Texas? I have a home with an ADU, but local ordinances don't mention anything about any renting requirements for the ADU, and I plan to have two separate leases for ADU and Main home with an addendum for utilities.

I had structured leases in the past using a master lease + addendum because I saw somewhere that multi leases to one unit was not allowed. However, I cannot find information on it atm so curious to see if that still stands and if somebody can provide an authoritative source.

Thanks,
