A lease is essentially a contract between a landlord and a tenant. As with any contract, both parties have the right to negotiate the terms before entering into it. If the lease is in writing, Texas law requires a landlord to provide the tenant with a copy of the lease within 3 business days of signing.
TREC is serious about making sure apartment locators have the proper licensing. Leasing agents face criminal charges and steep penalties if theyre caught operating without a real estate license.
In Texas, a lease agreement must comply with state and federal laws, including the Texas Property Code and the Fair Housing Act. It must also include specific information, such as the names and addresses of both parties, the rental property address, and the amount and due date of rent.
There is nothing wrong, with someone leasing/renting more than one property. Having two leases makes the person liable for two properties. People may want to have two different places to live and rent in the state of Texas and it would be at their discretion to be liable, for both.
Answer: Yes. The contract forms are available for public use. A TREC contract form, however, is intended for use primarily by licensed real estate brokers or sales agents who are trained in their correct use.
