Landlord rules for Texas owners
Texas sets landlord-tenant rules statewide rather than letting New Braunfels write its own. Property Code §92.103 gives landlords 30 days to return a security deposit after a tenant moves out. Local Government Code §214.902 bars a city from adopting rent control unless the governor approves it during a declared disaster emergency. The Texas Constitution's Article 8, §29(a) also bars any new real estate transfer tax on a deed after January 1, 2016, so a sale carries no state or local transfer tax.
What it means for an owner selling in New Braunfels
