Operative Text
Sec. 94.206. TERMINATION AND EVICTION FOR NONPAYMENT OF RENT. A landlord may terminate the lease agreement and evict a tenant if:(1) the tenant fails to timely pay rent or other amounts due under the lease that in the aggregate equal the amount of at least one month's rent;(2) the landlord notifies the tenant in writing that the payment is delinquent; and(3) the tenant has not tendered the delinquent payment in full to the landlord before the 10th day after the date the tenant receives the notice. Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 801, Sec. 1, eff. April 1, 2002. SUBCHAPTER F. PROHIBITED ACTS
Under Texas Property Code § 94.206, a landlord operating a manufactured home community has the legal authority to terminate a lease and pursue eviction when a tenant's unpaid rent or other lease charges add up to at least one full month's rent. Before eviction can proceed, the landlord must first deliver written notice of the delinquency to the tenant. The tenant then has a 10-day window from receipt of that notice to pay the full overdue amount and avoid termination of the lease.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Landlords covered by Tex. Prop. Code § 94.206 who wish to terminate a lease for nonpayment must follow a specific sequence: confirm that the unpaid amounts total at least one month's rent, deliver written notice of the delinquency to the tenant, and then allow the full 10-day cure period to expire before taking further action. Compliant operators typically keep clear records of the notice delivery date and the amounts owed to document that each statutory condition was met. Skipping or shortcutting any of these three steps can undermine the legal basis for an eviction proceeding.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 94.206 of the Texas Property Code gives tenants in manufactured home communities a meaningful opportunity to avoid eviction: once written notice of a rent delinquency is received, a tenant has up to 10 days to pay the full overdue balance and halt the termination process. Tenants who believe the notice was improperly delivered, that the amounts claimed are inaccurate, or that the 10-day period was not honored may be able to raise those issues as a defense in an eviction proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices familiar with Texas manufactured housing law can help residents understand the options available under this provision.
