HB 2748 establishes a pilot program under the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs to reimburse landlords when tenants terminate leases early due to family violence, certain sex offenses, or stalking. The program provides landlords with one month’s rent for qualifying early lease terminations. The department may contract with third parties to develop online services for administering the program. The department must report participation data and program outcomes to the legislature by January 1, 2029, and the pilot program expires on September 1, 2029.
