Texas· Answer
How much advance notice does Texas require to raise rent?
Short answer
Texas has no statewide statutory advance notice for rent increases. Lease terms govern. Default practice is 30 days written notice on a month-to-month tenancy, matching the Tex. Prop. Code 91.001 termination rule. No state rent cap, and local rent control is preempted.

Honest limits
This is an informational answer based on Lease-based; Tex. Prop. Code 91.001 (30-day month-to-month termination default) as of early 2026. It is not legal advice. Housing law changes year to year and local ordinances (especially in rent-controlled or rent-stabilized cities) can override or add to state law. For contested cases, consult a Texas-licensed attorney.
