Apartment rental question. Breaking a lease???
We live in Texas and have been complaining about our A/C for two months or so. It does not cool. We report it to the office and they give us the runaround. Our electricity is going thru the roof b/c the A/C is always running. We want to break the lease but dont want it to go on our credit. Since they ignore our maintenence requests is it possible to break the lease??? Thanks
I did an Internet search on “texas renting and leasing law” and found this. I’d recommend trying the same search, however, I’d be specific in the search about your area of Texas, then, I’d look for a phone number for a Renter’s Law and/or advocacy and rights office of some sort, and contact them with your specific questions. The following was taken from one of the results of the Internet search noted above, and was specific to the greater Houston area:
Residents’ Rights
— Right to Peace and Quiet
Residents have the right to “quiet enjoyment,” meaning a landlord cannot evict a resident without cause or otherwise disturb a resident’s right to live in peace and quiet. The landlord also has a duty to see that residents are protected from other residents’ wrongful behavior. Except in specific conditions, a landlord may not interrupt utilities to a resident except for bona fide repairs, construction or an emergency.
— Right to Health and Safety
The landlord must repair any condition that materially affects a resident’s health and safety. Under Texas law, by renting the property, the landlord guarantees a unit will be a fit place to live. The landlord does not have to pay for or make repairs due to a resident’s negligence, carelessness, abuse or accident — unless resulting from “normal wear and tear.” Also, the landlord must provide smoke detectors.
— Right to Security
Under Texas law, a dwelling must be equipped with security devices like window latches, keyed deadbolts on exterior doors, sliding door pin locks and sliding door handle latches or sliding door security bars, and door viewers. These devices must be installed at the landlord’s expense. If such devices are missing or are defective, a resident can request their installation or repair.
For more information on your rights as a renter or the steps needed to exercise those rights, contact the HAA’s Resident Relations Department at 281-933-2224 , or call the City of Houston Fair Housing Office at 713-868-8463 .
Whether new residents are looking for an apartment to call home or a short-term stay until they find their dream home Houston’s apartment market offers an unlimited array of housing opportunities that meet every price range and personal taste.
