Texas Notice of Rent Increase
Give written notice before raising rent on a Texas tenancy. Texas does not set a statewide minimum notice period for a rent increase. Follow the lease. For a month-to-month tenancy, landlords often give at least one month’s written notice so the new rent starts at the next period (Tex. Prop. Code § 91.001).
