Navigate Austin Rental Laws
Texas Property Code Overview
All Austin rentals follow Texas Property Code. RentMouse ensures leases, notices, and practices comply with state requirements for landlord-friendly operations.
No Rent Control (Landlord Advantage)
Texas prohibits rent control—landlords can adjust rents to market rates with proper notice. RentMouse helps track increases and automate tenant notifications.
Security Deposit Rules
Typically 1-2 months rent (no state maximum). Must be returned within 30 days with itemized deductions. Interest only required if specified in lease.
Notice Requirements (3-Day, 30-Day)
3-day notice for non-payment of rent, 30-day notice for lease termination. Store all required notices and track deadlines automatically.
Fast Eviction Process (3-4 Weeks)
Texas has one of the fastest eviction processes in the nation—typically 3-4 weeks vs months in other states. Landlord-friendly court system.
Landlord-Friendly Courts
Texas law heavily favors landlords in disputes. Clear property rights, minimal regulation, and efficient justice of the peace courts for evictions.
