Episode Details

Slipping on rent? Texas law says landlords can’t just slap any fee on you. Late fees must be “reasonable” — capped at 12% of rent for small buildings (4 units or less) and 10% for larger ones. You’re only liable after rent is two full days past due, and the lease must clearly state the fee policy. If they overcharge, you could recover damages — up to three times the fee plus legal costs. And if they’re being shady? That might trigger deceptive trade practices laws. Even eviction could be blocked if you’re just refusing an unreasonable fee. Always check your lease — your rights are real.
