Re: Landlord requirements
According to the Texas Property Code, tenants have the right to have repaired any condition that threatens their health or safety. Tenants are entitled to: Decent, safe, and santitary dwellings; repairs of conditions that threaten the health or safety of a tenant; smoke detectors; secure locks on all doors and window. I would say a phone jack does not fall within these requirements.
