Landlord Retaliation Lawyer in Texas

Landlords can be spiteful and cruel.  We’ve seen some really bad landlords even file evictions of their tenants that are considered “illegal” or wrongful under Texas law.  Sometimes landlords will even lock you out of your home – improperly. Landlord Retaliation Lawyer in Texas

Did you complain about the conditions of your apartment and then immediately get a notice of eviction?  If you didn’t do anything that breached your lease, this is basically retaliation against you as a tenant.  You may sue the landlord and recover your damages, such as the cost of moving, the cost of the replacement lease, lost wages, etc. Unfortunately, this is brought as a separate lawsuit after the eviction.

One of the great things about landlord retaliation cases in Texas is that the statute gives the winning tenant additional damages and attorney fees. Landlord Retaliation Lawsuit
