More than 1 million metroplex residents rent their homes. The vast majority of rental housing residents have good relationships with their housing owners, property managers and neighbors. In fact, very few apartment dwellers have any significant problems with their rental housing or owner.

Debunking the myths about renting

Through education, communication, and legislation, AATC provides resources to rental housing owners and operators that assists them in developing and maintaining quality rental housing.

In partnership with the Texas Apartment Association (TAA) and the National Apartment Association, AATC communicates regularly with our members about changes in city ordinances and requirements; state laws and regulations; and federal statutes and rules that govern rental property.

In most instances, resident and landlord disputes are based on provisions contained within a lease agreement. AATC member properties use the TAA Lease. You are encouraged to carefully read, understand, and maintain a copy of your TAA lease. Give special attention to lease paragraphs regarding lease term, rent amount, rent due dates, non-renewal notice, deposits, and maintenance requests.

If you have a problem with your landlord, you are encouraged to first contact them and attempt top resolve the situation. If you are not satisfied with the resolution, you may contact the Texas Tenants Union at (214) 823-2733.
