Before You Send (Delete This Section)
-
Read the lease’s renewal and notice clauses first; a period agreed in a signed lease replaces the one-month default of § 91.001.
-
Check the six-month window. If the tenant made a repair request, complained to a code authority or exercised another protected right in the past six months, document a non-retaliatory reason for any rent increase or non-renewal (§§ 92.331, 92.332).
-
Keep late fees within § 92.019 and state them in the written renewal.
-
A non-renewal is not a notice to vacate. If the tenant stays after the lease ends, a separate notice under § 24.005 comes before any eviction case.
