A Simle & Effective Security Deposit Letter For Texas Tenants

In Texas, the law states that the landlord must return the tenant's security deposit within 30 days from the time they end their tenancy in their rented premise. The security deposit can be used by the landlord to cater for unpaid rent, substantial damages that go beyond the typical wear and tear associated with everyday living and costs sustained due to breach of lease agreement, after which an itemized list of deducted costs along with the balance should be sent to the tenant's provided address.

In accordance with the Texas state laws, the tenant can sue the landlord in a small claims court if they do not pay the owed security deposit within the statutory time frame where the landlord is liable to pay triple the damages on the amount in question.
