Plano landlords may decline to renew a residential lease at the end of its term without stating a reason, provided 60 or 30 days written notice is given as the lease specifies. Texas has no just-cause eviction protection at the state or local level for Plano tenants.
Unlike California, Oregon, or New Jersey, Texas does not require a landlord to articulate good cause when refusing to renew an expiring lease. Plano follows state law: a landlord may issue a notice of non-renewal under Texas Property Code 91.001 with as little as one rental-period of notice unless the lease imposes a longer requirement. Tenants who hold over after the term ends become at-will month-to-month occupants and may be removed via three-day notice to vacate followed by Justice Court forcible detainer proceedings. Discrimination based on protected federal classes remains prohibited under the Fair Housing Act.
Refusing renewal based on race, religion, familial status, or other federally protected classes triggers Fair Housing Act liability with damages, attorney fees, and federal-court injunctions.
