Relating to certain rights and duties of residential tenants and landlords; increasing the amount of civil penalties.

SB 882 modifies Texas landlord-tenant law by increasing notice periods for rent nonpayment. It requires landlords to give residential tenants 10 days to pay overdue rent before issuing a notice to vacate, replacing the previous 3-day period. Tenants must then receive a 14-day notice to vacate before an eviction lawsuit can be filed, with specific warnings about tenant rights and legal assistance resources in bold, capitalized text. The bill also adds Section 24.00605, allowing tenants to cure rent defaults and reinstate leases by paying all dues before a writ of possession is executed. This directly affects residential tenants and landlords in Texas rental agreements.
