Texas Property Management Basics
Property managers in Texas may engage in a variety of different activities. Some things a property manager may handle are:
- Tenant screening
- Rent collection
- Evictions
- Maintenance
- Tenant communications
- Marketing and advertising
- Handling repairs
Texas property management laws require strict adherence to regulations, including landlord-tenant laws, fair housing standards, and employment guidelines. Property managers should familiarize themselves with Texas Property Code, Chapter 92 (residential leases) and Chapter 93 (commercial leases) to ensure compliance.
For some of these activities, the property manager must hold a valid real estate license. According to the Texas Real Estate Commission, a license is required if the property manager’s duties include “showing or leasing the property for the owner for which the manager gets paid.” An experienced property management attorney in Houston can help you understand the law surrounding property management and ensure that you are in compliance.
