Relating to notice requirements for a leased dwelling located in a floodplain.
HB 2214 modifies Texas Property Code to clarify notice requirements for tenants in floodplain leased dwellings. It exempts short-term leases (under 30 days) and temporary residential arrangements tied to property sales (max 90 days) from mandatory floodplain notices. Landlords must provide written notices via lease addendum, separate document, or lease paragraph - signed by both parties - before lease execution. The changes apply only to leases entered into or renewed on or after September 1, 2025.
