Tips for renting in Arlington, TX

Welcome to your new Arlington apartment! Renters in Arlington should know that Texas has no cap on the amount of security deposits, but does require they be refunded within 30 days of moving out. Also, renters who are late on their payments have three days to move out before eviction can begin.

Additionally, like some other states, Texas grants renters the right to withhold rent in certain cases if their landlord hasn’t made crucial repairs. Another major plus is that Texas requires landlords to disclose their application criteria to potential tenants. This means you’ll have a good idea if you even qualify for a lease before you pay a non-refundable application fee.
