Vanessa Gonzales
Posted

🏡 Wednesday Wisdom: Know Your Texas Rental Requirements! 🏡
Tip: As a landlord in Texas, compliance with the Texas Property Code isn’t optional — it's the law and protects both you and your residents.
📋 Required Items for Single-Family Rentals Include:
🔐 Keyless deadbolts on all exterior doors
🪟 Window locks on all accessible windows
🚪 Peephole or viewer on front door
🧯 Smoke alarms in every bedroom, hallway, and on each level
🛠️ Timely repairs of conditions affecting health/safety
📌 These aren’t just best practices — they’re legally required to avoid liability and ensure habitability.
