What should be added? I also need to know where i can get some info about renters rights, i think 24 hours is not enough time. not fair at all.





Thanks everyone for your kind input.|||Your landlord is just trying to make sure you pay your rent on time. Normally rent is due on the first of the month. This lease says the tenth, so it's almost like getting a 10 day grace period to start with. Normal eviction process in Texas takes 20 to 23 days and costs the landlord more money. The landlord is trying to minimize their losses. You can ask if they'll give you more time, but just pay your rent on time and there's no problem. I've given you a link below to Texas Landlord Tenant laws - there are plenty more if you do a search.





How long is this lease for? It almost appears to be a month to month lease rather than being for 1 year and then becoming month to month. How often can the landlord raise the rent? Utilities? Groundskeeping responsibility? Just a few items for you to think about.
