Frisco landlords must follow Texas Property Code 92.101 through 92.109 on security deposits. Refunds are due within 30 days of move-out with an itemized list of deductions. Bad-faith withholding triggers treble damages, a one-hundred-dollar penalty, and reasonable attorney fees.
Frisco does not impose its own security deposit rules; Texas Property Code 92.101 to 92.109 controls. Landlords must return the deposit within 30 days after the tenant surrenders the unit and provides a forwarding address, along with an itemized list of any deductions for damages beyond normal wear and tear. Tenants who fail to give written notice of their forwarding address forfeit some remedies. A landlord acting in bad faith faces treble the wrongfully withheld amount, a statutory one-hundred-dollar fine, and attorney fees. Frisco code-enforcement does not adjudicate deposit disputes; tenants pursue recovery in justice court.
Bad-faith retention of a deposit makes the landlord liable for three times the wrongfully withheld portion plus one hundred dollars and reasonable attorney fees.
