    Tips for Renting in Grand Prairie

    If you're eyeing a move to Grand Prairie, let's take a look at your renters rights before you go.

    Of course, you always want to read your lease in its entirety, but here are a few specific things to be aware of.

    Landlords are required to provide applicants with a written notice of eligibility standards, so you're not paying an application fee just to be automatically denied.

    But unlike some other cities, withholding rent because repairs haven’t been made is not advisable in Grand Prairie, since it will likely lead to an eviction.
