Relating to notice requirements for a leased dwelling located in a floodplain.
SB 2349 modifies Texas Property Code notice requirements for tenants in floodplain rental properties. It exempts short-term leases (under 30 days) and specific temporary residential arrangements (like pre-closing home occupancy) from mandatory floodplain notices. Landlords must now provide required notices in writing - via lease text, addendum, or separate document - with both parties signing to confirm receipt. The law applies only to leases entered into or renewed on or after September 1, 2025, and does not affect existing leases.
