Relating to a landlord's duty to acknowledge receipt of a notice to repair or remedy a condition that materially affects the physical health or safety of a tenant.
HB 2903 requires landlords in Texas to send written confirmation within two business days when they receive a tenant's notice about health- or safety-related repair issues. This applies to all tenants affected by the problem, including those sharing common areas like hallways or lobbies, where landlords must notify each affected tenant separately. The acknowledgment must clearly state the tenant's rights and available remedies under the law. If landlords fail to comply, tenants can seek court action for violations. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
