Illegal Rent Increases Before Lease Expires - Texas
I have a manufactured home in a MHP in Texas that is on a leased lot which the lease expires the end of February 2019. The MHP sold in September to a Colorado company that has a really poor reputation for their business practices. They have now placed rent increase notices starting January 2019 on the doors of all residents (all homes are individually owned - not corporate owned). I'm preparing to draft a response to them to inform the company that is illegal and they must honor all current leases until expiration. Will someone please direct me to the Texas Property Code indicating this? I've looked at Section 91 and 92 and do not seem to be finding what I need.
Obviously, I'm not trying to start trouble - I just know from news articles, previous lawsuits, etc. that the partners that own the company don't seem care at all about the residents of their properties or local and State laws - they are only in it for the money.
Thank you!
