Relating to certain fees charged to tenants of residential properties.

SB 2302 bans landlords in Texas from requiring tenants to pay recurring fees for non-optional services, such as valet trash collection, shared water heating systems, smart device upgrades, or prescribed internet/cable service. It directly affects residential tenants by preventing landlords from including these fees in lease agreements as a condition of tenancy. The bill allows landlords to offer these services as optional fees but prohibits making them mandatory. This law applies only to new leases or renewals entered into on or after September 1, 2025.
