Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Eviction laws in Texas

I moved into a house on a month to month lease. The landlord's daughter and son in law went to work for me. They were dismissed by my supervisor and I was served with an eviction notice to be out by Dec 17.2002. I was told it was because I owned a dog, but nothing had been said about the dog prior to my mgr having to let her kids go. I have requested to stay until Feb 1, 2002 because I have two young kids and don't want them living on the street. The letter I received was one she brought by the house. I have not signed for anything.

What will happen if I don't move out on the 17th? Will she still have to go through the courts thus giving me time to find a place for me and my two small children.

Re: Eviction laws in Texas

If you are on a month to month lease, your tenancy terminates on the the later of 1. the date specified in the notice of termination or 2 one month after the day on which the notice is given. You will only owe rent through the date the tenancy terminates. Sec. 91.001 or the Texas Property Code. If you haold over past the 30 days the landlord may bring a suit to evict you, but must give you notice. Larry Maun 713.266.2560
