Tips for Renting in Dallas
If you're already dreaming of your new life in Dallas, let's take a second to familiarize ourselves with a couple of the tenant laws in place for renters.
Your rental property in Dallas is protected under Georgia state law. For starters, your security deposit must be returned within one month of moving out. But there's no set limit on the amount that a landlord can charge for a security deposit.
Your landlord is also required by law to maintain a habitable dwelling, free of mold and with necessary utilities. But you should be aware that they're legally able to initiate eviction proceedings after a single missed payment in a 12-month period.
