Eviction Process in Texas on Tenants That Have Not Signed Lease Agreements

[Andrew L.]

I have this 3-plex I am looking at buying and it has 3 tenants. 2 of the 3 tenants have not signed lease agreements. Can this make it difficult when setting the rent? Can I evict the tenants if they do not want to sign lease agreements? I am very adamant that I will make the tenants sign lease agreements. I am worried it will be a he said she said game when it comes to rent once I purchase the property.

You are right. Put them on month to month at the same rate they are paying now, and if you're thinking about raising the rent after you take over you might lose the tenants.
