Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Texas

I lease a horse pasture and have built stalls, corral and placed a metal container on it for the food. I told the landlord I was moving and he said that was fine but I had to leave everything I placed on the property because he owns that property and now owns the stalls, etc. This was not in the agreement, can he keep me from tearing down the stalls and taking the materials and metal container?

Read your lease. The terms of the lease will govern everyone's legal obligations. There is extensive caselaw, that real property improvements, attached to the land, belong to the land. There is extensive caselaw, because there are frequently disputes as to what constitute a permanent improvement. Take photos of the property, improvements and your lease, for a consultation with a property lawyer. A consultation fee will give you guidance and options, regarding your chances at successfully litigating or negotiating a settlement.
