Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas
Reletting Fees
With a verble 30 day notice, this landlord is charging me 1 months rent AND a 417.00 Reletting Fee because they didn't get a written notice. Can they do that? Isn't that being charged twice for the same thing? Also, after 2 years there, they are charging 95.00 for cleaning fees. What about normal wear and tear pursuant to Tex. Prop. Code SS92.104(b)? They are stating that they will not sue but will put this on the credit report if it is not paid. Is there any recouse on my part if I don't agree with these charges?

I would suggest that you review your lease agreement and take a look at what you agreed to when you signed the lease two years ago.
