No statewide cap
Texas Property Code does not regulate rent increase amounts. Landlords can raise rent any amount at lease renewal.
Notice requirements
For month-to-month tenancies: 30 days written notice. For fixed-term leases: increase only at renewal, with notice per lease terms (typically 30-60 days).
Local rent control
Texas law preempts city rent control. No Texas city has enforceable rent control ordinances as of 2026.
Discrimination limits
Increases targeted at protected classes (race, religion, etc.) violate federal Fair Housing Act regardless of state silence.
