Irving tenants can file complaints about unsafe conditions with Code Enforcement at (972) 721-4829 or online. TX Property Code Ch. 92 provides tenant remedies for habitability issues.
Irving tenants can report unsafe or substandard living conditions by contacting Code Enforcement at (972) 721-4829 or filing an online complaint through the city's Report Code Violations portal. A code officer will investigate within one business day (by 5 PM the next day). Under Texas Property Code Chapter 92, tenants have specific remedies for landlord failure to repair conditions materially affecting health or safety, including the right to repair and deduct, terminate the lease, or file suit for damages. Tenants must provide written notice to the landlord and allow reasonable time for repair before exercising remedies. Code Enforcement addresses building and housing standard violations independently of landlord-tenant disputes. Anonymous complaints are accepted but may be harder to document.
Landlords face code violations and fines. Tenants have repair/deduct and lease termination remedies.
