No-Fault Evictions: Houston vs Humble

Can my Houston landlord evict me for no reason?

Yes, at lease end or by terminating month-to-month with 30 days' notice. Texas does not require just cause. Subsidized housing tenants have federal good-cause protection.

How much notice must my landlord give?

30 days for month-to-month under Section 91.001, then a 3-day notice to vacate before filing eviction. Lease may modify the 3-day period in either direction.

Can I fight a no-cause eviction?

You can challenge defective notice, raise retaliation under Section 92.331, or assert fair-housing defenses, but pure no-cause termination at lease end is generally lawful in Texas.

Can my Harris County landlord refuse to renew a lease without giving a reason?

Generally yes. Texas allows nonrenewal at the natural end of a fixed-term lease without stating cause. Landlords still cannot retaliate or discriminate under TX Property Code 92.331 or applicable federal civil rights laws.

How much notice ends a month-to-month tenancy in Harris County?

Texas Property Code Section 91.001 requires written notice at least one rental-payment interval, normally 30 days, before the intended termination date. Lease terms may lengthen but not shorten this notice period.
