Here at the Apartment Association of Tarrant County, we do not have an attorney on staff to help with apartment resident lease questions or general landlord/tenant law. We are a multifamily trade association representing properties, management companies and relevant supplier partners.
If you have an issue with your landlord, we recommend you take the following steps:
1) Talk with your property manager (or owner, if relevant) and work to resolve the issue. If you are unable to resolve the issue, reach out to their supervisor. In some cases, legal representation will be your only recourse.
2) Contact a landlord/tenant attorney to see if they can help you. If you require legal assistance, you can reach out to Legal Aid of Northwest Texas office at 817-336-3943. If you need help paying your rent, call 211 on your phone to find social support services in your area or visit their website at https://211.org.
3) If your problem is a city code violation (trash, water, safety, etc), try contacting the City of Fort Worth at http://fortworthtexas.gov or call them at 817-392-1234
