Showing ordinances that apply to The Woodlands CDP (part), Montgomery County, Texas, TX
The Woodlands CDP (part), Montgomery County, Texas is an unincorporated community (population 98,066) in Montgomery County, Texas. Because The Woodlands CDP (part), Montgomery County, Texas is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Montgomery County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The just cause eviction rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Texas has no just-cause eviction requirement. Montgomery County landlords may terminate month-to-month leases without cause on 30 days' written notice per Property Code §91.001. Self-help eviction is illegal.
Texas Property Code §91.001 allows either party to terminate a month-to-month tenancy by giving written notice one rental-payment period in advance (typically 30 days). No cause or reason is required. For cause-based evictions — non-payment, holdover, lease breach — §24.005 requires a written three-day notice to vacate (shorter or longer if lease specifies) before a forcible detainer suit in Justice Court. HB 2127 and Property Code §92.016 preempt local 'just cause' ordinances, voiding Austin-style renter protections. Self-help eviction (lockouts, utility shutoffs, removing doors) is strictly prohibited under §92.008, exposing landlords to one month's rent plus $1,000 in statutory damages. Conroe, The Woodlands, Willis, and Magnolia all follow state process; no supplemental local just-cause rules exist. Fair Housing Act and Texas §301 still prohibit discriminatory or retaliatory non-renewal.
Self-help lockout or utility shutoff: Property Code §92.0081 — one month's rent plus $1,000 plus actual damages and attorney fees. Improper notice: eviction suit dismissed. Retaliatory non-renewal: §92.331 liability.
