Tips for renting in Richardson, TX

Ready to pack your bags for Richardson? Before you go, let’s take a quick look at some of the local tenant laws, to make sure you’re up to speed.

Texas doesn’t place any limits on the amount of the deposit a landlord can ask for, but they do require that they return it within 30 days of your move-out date. And if the landlord fails to do so, you can take them to small claims court.

In Richardson, you have a “quiet enjoyment” right, which prevents both your landlord and other tenants from disturbing your stay with things like intrusions or noise. If you’re having trouble with noisy neighbors, let your landlord know. But that goes both ways, so you’ll want to keep it down on your end too.
