Repair & Maintenance Issues in Texas
Landlords Have a Legal Duty to Keep Rentals Safe and Habitable
You pay your rent every month. You keep your end of the deal.
But what happens when your landlord doesn’t?
- Maybe your A/C broke in the middle of summer and no one showed up.
- Maybe you’ve reported leaks, mold, or broken appliances—and your calls go unanswered.
- Maybe your landlord is stalling on repairs, hoping you’ll give up.
The truth is: Texas law requires landlords to make necessary repairs. You don’t have to live in unsafe or unhealthy conditions—and the Law Office of Bryan Fagan can help make sure you’re treated fairly.
What Texas Law Says About Repairs
- Make repairs that affect health and safety (plumbing, heat, A/C, electrical, structural problems, pest infestations, etc.)
- Act promptly after being notified in writing of needed repairs
- Maintain the property in a habitable condition
- Withhold rent until repairs are made (in specific situations under Texas law)
- Terminate your lease without penalty
- Sue for damages or force repairs through the courts
