As a tenant, you have rights under Texas law—including the right to request repairs, complain about unsafe conditions, or report housing violations.

  • Maybe your landlord raised your rent right after you reported a problem.
  • Maybe you were threatened with eviction because you asked for repairs.
  • Maybe your landlord entered your home without notice or permission.

These actions are not just unfair—they may be illegal retaliation and privacy violations. The Law Office of Bryan Fagancan help you fight back and protect your rights.

Under the Texas Property Code, it is illegal for a landlord to retaliate against a tenant within six monthsof the tenant:
  • Requesting repairs or maintenance in writing

  • Reduced services (like cutting utilities)

Illegal Entry by Landlords

Your landlord owns the property—but you control your home while you rent it.That means your landlord cannot enter your rental unit without proper notice, except in emergencies.
Illegal entry may include:
  • Entering without your knowledge or permission
