Relating to disclosure of rent and certain fees and charges by a landlord.
HB 4305 requires Texas landlords to clearly disclose all rent and fees upfront in lease quotes, rental applications, and advertisements. Landlords must provide an itemized list of monthly recurring fees (like internet, pest control, or amenity fees), security deposits, pet fees, and other charges on the lease's first page. Any change to these fees must be agreed to in writing by both parties. This bill directly affects all residential landlords and tenants in Texas by increasing transparency around rental costs before a lease is signed.
