SB 882 significantly enhances tenant protections under Texas law. It extends the notice period for tenants in default, introduces a right-to-cure provision, regulates fees, and limits eviction-related disclosures. The bill also ensures landlords uphold safety and habitability standards, provides tenants with remedies for unsafe conditions, and restricts retaliatory actions by landlords. The Act introduces stricter limits on late fees and codifies tenants' rights during disaster-related rental disputes, effective September 1, 2025​.
